This exceptional Victorian-era 18ct gold chain necklace is a testament to fine craftsmanship. Every link in this remarkable necklace has been meticulously handcrafted. The thicker, rounded links are subtly faceted, catching and reflecting the light with a delicate shimmer as you move. This intricate detail adds a captivating dimension to the chain's overall beauty, setting it apart from any ordinary piece.
A rare feature of this piece is its intricately engraved barrel clasp, an ingenious Victorian design with a unique push-down mechanism—press the top section beneath the loop to open, and it springs back up to securely close. It's an exceptionally rare find and a testament to the innovative designs of the era.
Measuring 16.75 inches in length and 3mm in width, this necklace features a four-dimensional design that gives it a more substantial appearance. It sits elegantly along the collarbone, weighing 13.39 grams for a luxurious yet comfortable fit, perfect for daily wear or special occasions.
Hallmarked with an "18C" tag on one end and a cross motif tag on the other, the gold has also been professionally tested via XRF, confirming its 18-carat purity. In excellent antique condition, this chain is a rare piece of history and a stunning addition to any collection.
