Heavy French Vintage Albert Watch Chain 20g 18k GOLD Solid Chunky Chain Necklace Oval Links XL Spring Ring T Bar Short Choker Extender

I am back from my inventory trips to Europe and selling an assortment of vintage to antique hand picked pieces which I have hunted for and gathered from around the world. Some examples seen in the last photo - thanks for stopping by!

ABOUT:
Love a good watch chain necklace and this one has all the extra bits and bobs. A French Art Deco antique with plenty of the French stamps, this one is crafted in all 18k solid gold with a bit of a warm and rosy glow. So lovely! For added accoutrements, we have the extra large spring ring, a T bar watch winder that makes a cool toggle clasp or pendant, and a dog clip on the opposite end. So plenty of options to style, extend and connect it.

Shorter in length, it fits me as a choker just barely so please note the measurements as we all come in wonderfully different shapes and sizes. With the connectors on each end, these are often used as extenders or hooked together with other chains.

The parts alone are quite valuable as the old salvaged 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. I have a similar one where I put the T bar and the large spring ring on opposite ends and then run the T bar through it to serve as a toggle clasp which gives a super interesting look. I showed it in photos but you'd have to move some parts around to wear it that way which is easy enough to do.

Solid 18k gold, found in France with multiple French hallmarks for 18k.

Any 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.

MEASUREMENTS:
It weighs a sturdy 19.9g. Stretched end to end it's 14 inches. The large spring ring is 21mm in diameter so it's one of the bigger ones I've had. The oval links are 18mm by 3.8mm with a nice sturdy thickness / 3D quality and depth.

IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:

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 : )

SOCIAL:
Please feel free watch @mouseshouseantiques on Instagram for inventory drops, sneak peaks and previews! And check out my website www.MousesHouseAntiques.com as I can add more pics there so you can get extra looks : )

All items hand picked by me, one at a time from all over the world. All listings individually written by me, and not AI, after studying each piece to discuss its beauties and its ; ) eccentricities (which I am picky to point out).

Many of my listings include group shots – I find the comparisons between pieces help show scale, diamond hues, etc. All items in group shots are inventory, but refer to the website to see what items have sold out and to watch for new listings from the grouping to appear on the home page.
