On the other end is a T-bar, sculptural and textured, with two rings that fold over to wrap around it.

At 13.25”, the chain is not quite long enough to wrap all the way around the neck, but is perfect for joining with another chain for an asymmetrical, mixed look. It is pictured here with our Victorian Sterling Silver and Niello Watch Chain with Large Spring Ring, and pairs beautifully with many of the chains we have available in our shop, or could also be the perfect match for a chain already in your collection.

The chain weighs 31.4 grams. From link to link, it measures 13.25”, and the T-Bar measures 1.5” across. Unmarked, it acid tests as 14k gold.

Circa 1890. See less
