A refined and beautifully detailed long Victorian era 15ct gold chain measuring an elegant 31.25 inches.
The design alternates between trios of classic open curb links and elongated fancy links formed from twisted wire. These textured links create a subtle rope-like effect that catches the light beautifully, adding delicate dimension while maintaining a slender 3mm profile.
Light, fluid and highly wearable, this is the type of antique chain that layers effortlessly yet is equally elegant worn long as a simple sautoir.
A wonderful “15CT” tag remains attached to one of the terminal fancy links - a charming and much sought-after detail in antique chains. The bolt ring clasp is likely a historical replacement and tests closer to approximately 12ct gold on an XRF desktop analyser.
Presented in excellent antique condition with minimal wear between the links and a bolt ring clasp in excellent working order.
A versatile and beautifully preserved example of Victorian gold chain craftsmanship.
