About the Item

Victorian Enamel & Lapis Watch Chain with 18k Gold Links and Fob (Circa 1870) A rare antique chain with exquisite detailing—ideal as a luxurious chain extender or standalone accent. This elegant Victorian-era watch chain, dating to circa 1870, showcases a refined interplay of rich materials and meticulous craftsmanship. The links are crafted in 18k gold, accented with fine black and white enamel detailing. A 15k gold lobster clasp offers both security and versatility, while a 12k gold fob suspends a lapis seal intaglio, finely engraved with the initials “JD.” This piece measures 4.9 inches in length, with the fob extending an additional 0.9 inches in width. Total weight is 5.10 grams. It remains in superb antique condition, with only minor enamel wear near the clasp—consistent with its age and use. Whether worn as a distinguished chain extender, a charm bracelet segment, or a collector’s jewel, this rare piece offers timeless Victorian sophistication. Gold content verified by both X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing. Materials: 18k, 15k, and 12k gold; enamel; lapis lazuli
