DATE: Victorian, c.1880

An exquisite Victorian 15k belcher chain dating from the latter half of the 19th Century, circa 1880. You may be thinking "it's just a gold chain" - which isn't wrong - but I always get excited when these come in. Original antique belchers in gold and good lengths are becoming really quite scarce. This one's near perfect: high karat gold; substantial but not too chunky links; 20 inches length; finely textured; barrel clasp. An ideal middleweight antique chain; wear with pendant or without.
