A particularly wonderful Victorian pinchbeck double ball chain curb long guard chain crafted in yellow rolled gold. This is a magnificent chain with a really substantial feel. It is a versatile piece - it can be worn long or wrapped several times around the neck. The bolt ring and dog clip clasps allow the easy addition of a pendant or charms for a different look. The chain’s timeless, elegant design adds elegance to any outfit.

The chain measures approximately 56 inches/142cm long and weighs 66g. The curb links each measure approximately 4.8mm x 4.2mm x 1.8mm. The bolt ring is a good size, measuring 10.6mm across; the dog clip is small, measuring 16mm from one end to the other. The chain is made from yellow rolled gold.

Rolled gold was made by fusing a base metal between two thin sheets of gold. It was first created in the 19th century when it became a popular alternative to costume jewellery. The fact that its rolled gold makes this much more affordable than a solid gold chain. It means that all of the wonderful antique looks and craftsmanship can be yours at a fraction of the price.

Please look carefully at all the photographs as they form part of the description. Please be aware that this as this is an antique piece of jewellery and it is not perfect. Some of the links show some wear - although the chain is in wonderful condition.
