A beautifully detailed antique split ring in 9ct gold cased / rolled gold.
These, like dog clips, are such hard working items; use them to connect chains and bracelets, to hang charms from and as extenders. It'll never just be hanging around in your jewellery box!
Gold cased jewelry is a long-lasting form of gold plating and is more durable than modern gold plated jewellery. The gold and base metal are soldered together, then rolled out into a thin sheet. The gold layer is thicker than electroplated gold, so it will last longer (this one has been going for over 100 years) before the base metal shows.

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.
