THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT ~
Type: Chain / Necklace
Materials: 10k Gold
Size: 13 1/4"
Era: Victorian (1837-1901)
ABOUT:
A great antique layering chain. This is a Victorian 10k watch chain but could work as a choker, or attached to an extender or another chain to make a longer necklace. It is 13 1/4 inches in length. Please note the measurements / short length. Antique boxes / items in displays in photos are not included.
It can be difficult to determine scale from pictures so additional specs are below.
Beautiful rich antique yellow gold patina. It is stamped 10k on both the dog clip and the spring ring.
MEASUREMENTS:
It weighs 5.3g. Stretched end to end it's 13 1/4 inches, it fits me as a tight choker but could also be worn with charm extenders (I have a diamond safety pin one listed in fact : ). The chain link is about 1.6mm gauge. Each little tube/ bar is 13mm long.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
Please note that all my pieces are pre-owned and in estate condition. Beautiful rich patina that has warmed the 18k gold - it has a beautiful glow. Some signs of it being worn from age, where there is a very slight / gradual curve, or a ripple here or there but still very stable. Some surface wear but this is only seen if you study it up close due to the mirrored finish. To the eye and while wearing it as an amazing color and shine, like I said it truly glows and the 18 plus grams of solid 18k gold make it a special piece indeed. Sturdy, wearable and interesting piece in the solid gold version. There are no dark or colored spots to the gold, it was just difficult to photograph because it is so shiny and mirrored that it reflects its surroundings. Impactful worn alone but also layers well with other pieces.
My disclaimer with all my pieces - Please note due to age, this piece is not in mint condition.
I would be delighted if you'd follow me in my shop. Thanks for stopping by!
