Timelessly elegant and rich in character, this antique fancy link chain is a beautifully preserved piece of Victorian craftsmanship, thoughtfully converted by us from an original long guard chain. Crafted in sumptuous 18ct gold, the design features alternating baton links, knot links and twisted links, each meticulously detailed and in excellent antique condition with no visible wear.
Measuring 23.25 inches in length and 3.5mm in width, this striking chain offers versatile styling—perfect worn alone, layered, or paired with a cherished pendant. It is secured with a Victorian swivel dog clip, stamped "18", which remains strong and reliable to this day and is a perfect colour match for the vibrant yellow gold chain.
Weighing a substantial 24.31 grams, this chain feels luxuriously weighty and is an ideal heirloom piece for any antique jewellery collection.
Likely dating from the late Victorian era, circa 1880–1900, the ornate link design and original 18ct hallmark reflect the high standards of the period's goldsmithing. A wonderful opportunity to own a wearable piece of 19th-century history.
