Vintage White Gold Box Snake Chain-
This box shaped snake chain has a diamond cut type finish that is making sparkle like crazy! Perfect for wearing alone or layer with other yellow and white gold chains. This chain would also be great for your favorite pendant. Back in the days, platinum originally was used to make beautiful rings, bracelets and pendants (as far back as Egypt). Many platinum pieces were reserved for the rich and royalty since platinum cost so much. It was the cream of the crop. WWII changed all that. The government wanted to utilize platinum’s durability and use it for their strategic purposes. It’s durableness would come in handy. So they banned jewelers across America from using the metal, and the government stock piled the resources, using it for making batteries, cells, weapons, parts and chemical warfare. This move paid off nicely. We won the war. But jewelers scrambled…This left jewelers scrambling to come up with an alternative metal that looked like the wonderful platinum that so many people loved and wanted. They learned that by mixing nickel, palladium or zinc to gold, would bleach the yellow hue enough and give the appearance of a white metal. Hence, white gold was born.
