ABOUT:
A gorgeous antique chain in original condition. These solid gold 1800s pieces have a wonderful warm patina that can not be found on modern jewelry. They can be difficult to find in this condition due to the delicate nature of the links, this one has lasted 150 years.
French hallmark for 18k on the loop, it is worn but I can see it under magnification as I've seen it a thousand times.
The links are a sort of herring bone box chain where it is somewhat 3D and can roll around on the neck to catch the light and shimmer.
Additional chains & items shown in photos not included. Please note the measurements as I have small hands and it can be difficult to decipher scale from photos.
MEASUREMENTS:
Length: 20.5 inches
Weight: 8.6g
Gauge: 1.6mm.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
Just the tiniest ripple here or there, I don't see a single repair or weld. Nice quality hand feel.
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 : )
I dearly love, wear and sell antique jewelry so please check out my other listings and thanks so much for stopping by my shop!
