Antique 18K Solid Gold French Box Snake Chain Necklace c. 1880

Antique 18K Solid Gold French Box Snake Chain Necklace c. 1880

Crafted around 1880, this intricate Victorian snake chain has a unique boxy shape. It feels thick and heavy in hand with articulated moving pieces. It pairs perfectly with an antique locket, as show, or stands as a lovely every day wear piece on its own.

CONDITION NOTES:
The piece has been repaired in a few places, which shows as thicker, smooth gold areas visible in photos and in the video. The clasp is a replacement. Note that the length is shorter than in photos because the mannequin is smaller than a person. Please check the measurements for an accurate idea of length and fit.

Material: 18K solid gold (eagle head hallmark)
Weight: 8.76 g
Length: 16.3" or 41.5 cm
