HEART Initial Letter G C B ? Pendant on CHAIN Victorian ANTIQUE 14.5" Choker Necklace Collar Layering 5.7g 10k Gold

ABOUT:

My next stock drop is an assortment of antique chains and pendants!

This is a romantic one! A warm antique 10k gold chain with a sweet heart pendant permanently added to the loop at the center of the chain. The heart has a beaded rivet outline and an antique font engraved initial - I believe it is a G but also resembles a C or B? It's a somewhat puffy heart with a satiny back so it is actually reversible or could be engraved on the other side as well.

This piece is in a warm antique gold, not like the vibrant gold of today. It displays a lovely shimmer and glow with an almost bloomed gold patina. It is stamped 10k on the spring ring.

Important - please check the measurements as we lovelies all come in wonderfully unique shapes and sizes : ) - and this is a short chain. I once had an angry buyer contacting me after purchasing a chain of this length:
"Is this for a CAT?!?
Is this for a BABY?!?)"
She asked, Haha - shouty caps and all! The measurements are always in the listings.
It fits me nicely at a short length but I suppose it could also be worn by a youth (or a cat if desired).
(Gotta have a sense of humor in this business sometimes - tee hee : )

While I often offer many French antique pieces where the standard is 18k gold, I have quite a few lower carat gold pieces in my personal collection as well. They are often more durable and have lovely patina and a great antique warmth so I don't really discriminate when it comes to carat of gold, especially when the piece has delicious patina such as this.

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: 14.5 inches
Weight: 5.7g
Gauge: 1.1mm.
The heart is 17x12mm.

IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:

There is a weld on the loop with a slightly different patina, probably fortified, this is not noticeable while wearing.

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!
