A heavily chased old Victorian 'split ring' in 9ct yellow gold.
'Split ring' is the techinal term for this piece but considering this one doesn't open, I'm going to call it a connector.
I dont believe the free edges have been soldered shut, nor do I believe they've ever been pulled open. I think you could probably pull them open with force but I don't plan on trying that because, well, I have a fresh set of nails...
Use this as a connector for your chains or bracelets by adding your fasteners to each side.
It's a beautiful example in excellent condition with one historic scratch testing mark.

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.
