ANTIQUE Spring Ring French 1g 18k Rose Gold Solid 11mm Clasp Clip Pendant Holder Connector

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 French antique piece. This one comes with an additional added jump ring.

Nice and sturdy spring ring in 18k solid rose gold. Not the vibrant pink rose gold but the beautiful warm patina due to its wonderful antiqueness. This was probably originally on a watch chain, but I like to keep one of these on a split ring that I can run on any of my chains and then use it to rotate pendants quickly and easily. I mix it in with my slides or it is a fun accent to a chain.

Antique box and additional slides, pendants, chains, etc. not included. Please note the measurements as I have small hands and it can be difficult to decipher scale from photos where I am required to show zoomed in photos for detail. That is one reason I include a group shot to hopefully help show scale : ).

Hallmarked on the loop but it is difficult to decipher.

MEASUREMENTS:
15mm end to end including the attached loop, but not including the jump ring, by 11mm diameter not including the little ball rivet latch you use to open it. Weight is 1g. The piece is solid 18k gold except for the spring which is steel.

IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
There are smooth shallow impressions on both sides from a chain rubbing against it for years and years and years. Still very stable. Just looks like a slight ripple.

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!
