A French antique with their hallmarks for 18k gold. The piece has a combination of buttery yellow areas and parts with a warm and rosy glow. So lovely! For added accoutrements, we have the extra large spring ring that is faceted for a unique design element, a dog clip on the opposite end, and curb links that alternate from smooth to embossed with the classic antique flourishes. So plenty of options to style, extend and connect it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShorter in length, It does not fit as a necklace and is long for a bracelet. We antique jewelry enthusiasts incorporate them with the connectors on each end, for use as extenders or hooked together with other chains for wear as a necklace or bracelet. Or you could work with your jeweler to remove some links to wear as a bracelet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note the measurements as we all come in wonderfully different shapes and sizes : ) \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe parts alone are quite valuable as the old salvaged XL spring rings and dog clips are always sought after, but I decided to sell this one has it came to me, with all the bells and whistles. It can be styled a few ways as shown in photos and you could open the jump rings to move things around as well. This is one of my faves in awhile with the designed links and the faceted spring ring. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSolid 18k gold, found in France with multiple French hallmarks for 18k, on the side edge of the spring ring, on the dog clip, also a French control mark on one of the other loops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAny props not included. Please note the measurements as I have small hands and it can be difficult to decipher scale from photos, especially with the zoomed images that I am required to present for detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMEASUREMENTS:\u003cbr\u003e\nIt weighs 14.4g. Stretched end to end it's 10 inches from clasp to clasp. The large spring ring is 18.7mm in diameter so it's larger than most. The curb links are 7.1mm wide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:\u003cbr\u003e\nNo damage, the piece is solid 18k gold but the links are fabricated with curled gold leaving a seam inside, this is the normal fabrication. It is quite stable and not tinny or flimsy. There are a few gaps to the creases inside the links here or there. A small ripple here or there but typical age related wear. Some of the close up pics that might look like ripples are actually just the side view of the embossed details on the decorated links. Overall just a lovely patina and surface wear as expected for age of over 125 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease 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. : )\u003cbr\u003e\nBut - 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 : )\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSOCIAL:\u003cbr\u003e\nPlease feel free watch @mouseshouseantiques on Instagram for inventory drops, sneak peaks and previews!
