18 kt gold chain??

beautiful gold piece found

I found this piece of jewelry in a pawn shop a few years ago. It is an 18kt gold chain with links that look like nails and a Christ. I think it is a beautiful jewelry piece. I always wonder if it is an special design. I do not see any marks other than the 18kt. If you have seen a similar design or have knowledge about this particular piece, please share that information with me. Thanks

very nice find. Quite unique. Never know what you can find at the pawn

Possible bad news. There is a practice of using 18 ct clasps by Italian makers
leading buyers to think the entire piece is gold.
I'd buy a gold test kit(about $12 on line) and follow directions. My kit can
also test silver and platinum.
Then then is gold plate and electroplate. Solid gold is very heavy.
