Antique 18 Karat Yellow Gold Watch Chain Dog-Clasp Stackable Choker Necklace

About the Item

This 18 karat yellow gold chain exemplifies Victorian era jewelry design, characterized by its functionality and craftsmanship. The piece features a dog clasp, commonly used in the period to secure a gentleman's pocket watch. Its distinctive paper-clip-like link, likely served to loop around a button, anchoring the chain to the wearer’s attire, with one end intended for the watch itself, and the other ensuring it remained attached during movement. The Victorian era is noted for its intricate and meaningful jewelry, often mirroring the societal status of the wearer. The use of yellow gold and the precision of the chain's construction are indicative of the era’s luxurious tastes and the period's attention to detail in personal accessories. Repurposed into a choker necklace, the chain maintains its historical essence while adopting a modern aesthetic. This kind of adaptation reflects a respect for the ingenuity of past design while satisfying contemporary tastes. While the chain's original date of creation is unclear, its design elements are consistent with Victorian sensibilities, marking an intersection of accessory and practical design. This chain is more a piece of jewelry; it is a slice of history, continuing to evolve with fashion while honoring its origins. A true piece of wearable historical art. Length: 16" Condition: In great vintage condition with some patina and scratches Weight: 21.9 grams 100% Money Back Guarantee!
