Chasing Mammoths/Schindler Handcrafted Raw Gold Chain | 22" Skinny 1.3

Handcrafted by Bruce Schindler of Chasing Mammoths in Skagway, Alaska. This 22-inch necklace is constructed from 41.43 grams of hand-drawn 1.3mm wire, individually linked from raw, unrefined Barker Creek gold at .880 fine (~21 karat).

The thinner 1.3mm wire gauge produces a lighter, more delicate chain with a refined silhouette — ideal for everyday wear while still carrying the unmistakable warmth and weight of high-karat raw gold. At 88% purity, this gold is softer and more luminous than commercial 14K or 18K jewelry, with a rich, buttery yellow tone that only unrefined placer gold can achieve.

Closure: Finished with the signature Schindler toggle clasp — a handcrafted toggle-and-bar closure forged from the same Barker Creek gold. The toggle design is unique to Schindler Gold and serves as a hallmark of authenticity.

Construction: Every link is hand-formed from drawn wire in Bruce's Skagway studio. No two chains are identical — subtle variations in link shape and gold coloring make each piece one of a kind. The chain has a silky, fluid drape that feels unlike any factory-produced jewelry.

One of a kind. Crafted by Chasing Mammoths – Schindler Gold | chasingmammoths.com
