This 18.5-inch necklace is a refined conversion from a Belle Époque long guard chain, crafted from 18ct gold.
Three evenly spaced beads of opal and faceted rock crystal add luminous contrast. Each spacer measures between 8.5-10mm long and 5-6mm wide, capped in 18ct gold for a clean finish. The chain fastens with a 16mm antique dog clip, which bears a partially faded maker’s mark - a subtle nod to its Victorian origin.
A rare blend of gemstone detail and rich gold colour, this piece layers beautifully or holds its own as a standalone necklace.
