Antique Victorian Long Guard Chain Necklace in 18ct Yellow Gold
Bobble Square Link Chain
Description
A fine Victorian 18ct yellow gold 100cm long fancy bobble link guard chain necklace. The Victorians were masters of intricate goldwork, with the richly textured bobble construction seen here being no exception. Originally created to hold a ladies watch and tucked into a belt, this piece resonates with a rich and interesting history. The eye-catching and tactile quality of this chain is demonstrated by the fact that it has survived, as many were broken up into smaller examples, bracelets, or melted down to create other pieces of jewellery. Bold gold jewellery has surged back into fashion over the past few years, with the warm tones and statement looks provided appealing to a wide audience. The unusually long length of this necklace means that it will be a hugely versatile addition to any jewellery collection. Worn cascading to the waist, in a shorter double row, or wound around the wrist as a chunky bracelet, this piece will work for you to create the perfect modern look.
