17" Heavy 18K Solid Gold Victorian Watch Chain, Antique French Paperclip Necklace Chain 19.8g

Delight in this heavy, gorgeous 17" French solid 18k gold specialty chain. It has a beautiful, buttery old gold luster which is so unique to antique pieces. It weighs in at a respectable 19.8 g and will feel simply decadent draped across your collar bone. Versatile and unique, we love how antique watch chains can be repurposed as modern day necklaces which hook a pendant or a locket attacked to the spring ring closure, an example of which can be seen in photo four. The links on this are very unique with a twisted 'paper clip' design connected by trace chain. The links have been inspected for wear and remain in sturdy condition but avoid any abrupt tugs to keep the connecting links in good shape. As with any piece of antique jewelry, it will need to be treated with a certain level of care. The chain has been hallmarked with an eagle head guaranteeing at least 750 gold purity, the most common French hallmark for gold. It has some oxidation to the interior twists in the links that helps bring out the features and stands as a testament to the age and authenticity of the piece. I've left the lovely antique patina for you to enjoy. It would be a great addition to any chain collection, or a great staple piece if you are just starting out.
