What is Tubogas jewelry?

The term Tubogas translates to gas pipe, and is a term used to describe a chain that is formed from interlocking strips that are wound tightly together. This technique creates a hollow center that uses less metal and requires no soldering. It was popular in the 1930-40s because of the scarcity of metals during the war.
