A stunning chain from the Victorian period. The chain is made from sterling silver and has amazing links with a star and wave design on every one. The links are a lovely thick quality, though they are hollow meaning the chain has a lovely chunky look without being too heavy. It is complete with two dog clip clasps, off to one side, and a t-bar.
The t-bar has the marks SS for sterling silver; one dog clip has continental marks, possibly Austrian, though they are difficult to read. This chain seems to be an amalgamation of an antique chain and antique findings and the overall look is excellent.
Details:
Materials - Silver (marked and tested). One dog clip may be slightly lower grade than sterling, possibly 800-900.
Age - Victorian
Size - The chain measures approx 7.2mm wide. The t-bar is 38mm wide. The dog clips are around 21mm and 22.2mm. The chain has a wearable length of 15.5”
Condition - Very good. Some patina to the silver. Wear commensurate with age
Weight - 28.7g
