The Singapore is the spun gold of myth and fairy talesa flat strand of gold twisted into a chain with a texture so visceral it is raw. This is the love between Romeo and Juliet too powerful to bear. It is patience of Penelope weaving her fathers shroud and then unraveling it each night as she awaits the return of her adventurer husband Odysseus. This is the rapturous hair of Rapunzel. In white gold, the chain is subtle and savvy. It is 9 inches long and 1 MM thick made of 14k Italian gold: gold becomes white when alloyed with nickel, copper, and zinc rather than with silver, copper and zinc. Pure gold is too soft and malleable for jewelry so it is mixed with alloys to add strength and durability. The clasp is a spring ring clasp.
