This lovely textured long guard chain was meticulously crafted by skilled artisans at end of the 19th century. Resembling elongated, pointed ovals, the navette links showcase a finely textured surface that catches the light and adds depth to the chain's overall design. Each link features an interior filigree infinity knot, a mark of everlasting love and affection. The chain is crafted from high quality silver and hallmarked with a boar's head indicating a minimum silver purity of 800 parts per thousand.
The history of the long guard chain itself is fascinating and steeped in tradition. Originating in the Victorian era, long guard chains were designed as versatile accessories that could be worn in various ways. Typically measuring around 50 inches in length, women would use long guard chains to hold their pocket watches or attach various pendants, lockets, or charms, making them both functional and fashionable.
