I admit that I have never encountered this specific design before and would also like to draw your attention...

Measures 19" interior end to end, which is also the closed, wearable length. The center link is 1 1/2" tall. I believe the clasp is original to the piece. It's identical to another M. Velazquez necklace I had ...
