ANTIQUE 2.1g 14k GOLD Solid Victorian Screw Bolt Dog Clip Clasp Pendant Swivel Holder Connector Neckmess Neckstack Parts

Big stock drop of some vintage to antique bits and bobs, charms, chains, pendants etc., all from my inventory trips to Europe earlier this year.

ABOUT:

These are just nice to have on hand when building your neckmess / neck stack. There are plenty of reproductions of these made but this is an actual antique piece.

Nice and sturdy dog clip / clasp with swivel loop and a screw bolt at the base. When you twist the bolt up, it winds up over the opening part of the dog clip, which holds the clasp shut so it has no risk of coming open - so you'll never lose a pendant. This one swivels with some tension.
These are made with the ability to open and close the loop at the back with a tool like a pliers and the gold is soft enough to do this without damaging it.

Beautiful antique piece with warm pale gold coloring. No hallmarks but tests at 14k. Antique box not included. Please note the measurements as I have small hands and it can be difficult to decipher scale from photos.

MEASUREMENTS:
21mm end to end. Weight is 2.1g.

IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:

The little rivet at the center is metal.

Please note that all my pieces are pre-owned and in estate condition. They will have patina, surface wear, a few small nicks. These pieces may also have evidence of a sizing, some build up around the stones and / or inclusions seen under magnification, typical for antique pieces. I have mentioned any noticeable issues above and they are all still wearable and eager to be loved and accepted for many years to come, (the preservation of antique jewelry, even those with signs of their age and history, is important to me. : )
But - Please note due to age, this piece is not in mint condition. Pictures also serve as part of the description and condition report so please utilize the zoom feature which will magnify any wear significantly more than what is visible to the eye while wearing : )

Thanks so much for looking at my items!
