A great every day staple chain in warm rosy 9ct gold. It will have started life as part of a much longer chain but as time goes by and fashions change, as so often happens with guard chains, they are broken up into shorter more wearable pieces.
The belcher links are hollow and many of them have been repaired (please see full condition statment in the item specifications)
A lovely chain, which you'll get lots of wear out of.

Condition - the overall condition of the chain is good, however there are inperfections. There are two replacement links, they are matched well to the rest of the chain in color and size and are pretty unnoticible unless closely inspected. One is to the very centre in between the two long links and one is around 1/3 of the way between one of the long links and one of the dog clips. Many of the original links have dings in them and some have been solder repaired in the past. It is my opinion that the chain is secure and has many years of wear left in her but please do be satisfied with the information outlined here, before you buy.

All of my pieces are at the very least pre-loved and most of them are vintage or antique. This item is not brand new and as such, will not look brand new. Please expect signs of wear to include kinks in links, surface wear to gold, scuffs to stones and accept this as part and parcel of buying second hand jewellery. I will be as clear as I can with item descriptions and condition statement and aim to make sure you are aware of any potential defects before you buy.
