Antique Gold Chains
Antique gold chains are particularly varied in their links and original fittings, from fine belcher and fancy-link designs to longer guard chains with dog clips or bolt rings. Victorian and Edwardian examples can be found in both yellow and rose gold, ranging from delicate necklace chains to longer and more substantial pieces.
Many antique chains were designed to be functional as well as decorative, whether carrying a watch, locket or another small piece of jewellery. Their original link construction, clasps and fittings remain an important part of the design and can also affect how a chain sits, fastens and can be worn.
