Also known as a paperclip, the fetter link has soared in popularity in the last twelve months with modern jewellery brands steaming ahead with the trend; but of course we know where this design originated from, don't we?
That's right, this link was first made popular early in the Victorian era and has stuck around ever since. We often see these links in heavy Albert chains and it's always a delight to find a dainty version.
Dainty antique fetter chain
- Material - 9ct gold
- Hallmarks - 9ct tag
- Country of origin - England
- Total length - 17.5"
- Width - 1mm
- Weight - 1.98g
- Condition - excellent antique condition. A handful of links around the centre of the chain are mishapen. This is a lightweight, dainty piece and as such I would not recommend hanging heavy pendants from it.
All of my pieces are at the very least pre-owned 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 statements and aim to make sure you are aware of any potential defects before you buy. Please study the photos carefully as they form part of the condition statement.
