I gasped when I saw this chain at the bottom of a dusty old box in an equally old antiques shop. The dealer I bought it from (who is now my new best friend) told me that he'd had it for many years because and I quote 'they're not what people want nowadays' Now I don't know the kinds of people he's referring to but I do know that they are not us, RIGHT!?
This chain, for me, has absolutely everything going for it. The chunk that you get from the double row of textured links makes it a show stopping piece. The colour of the gold is as yellow as can be, rare for antique 9ct as you know. The dog clips aren't perfectly matched in design, one being round and the other flat but the size and colour work well. If this is an issue for you, let me know and I can swap out the flat edge and replace with another round.
A really special chain that I am proud to offer and that I know wil become a treasured piece.

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.
