About the Item

Antique Marseille Ball Necklace 9ct Gold Circa 1910 This beautiful necklace, known as the 'Marseille Necklace, ' features hollow rose-gold balls strung together on a fox link gold chain. It is secured with a reliable bolt ring clasp, and both the clasp and the first gold ball have 9ct markings. The tradition of this necklace dates back to the 18th century, when gold dealers in Marseille wore their gold in the form of balls around their necks. By the 19th century, this custom had spread among the bourgeoisie, allowing women from Marseille to recognise one another when they met outside the city by wearing the Marseille necklace. The necklace measures approximately 16 1/4 inches in length and a width of 4mm Weight 14.2g All of our items are either Antique, Vintage or Preloved. They are in used condition and may show some signs of age-related wear, light surface scratches or tarnish.
