Antique, Victorian 9ct Gold, Guard Chain, Ornate Ball Spacer, Necklace, 27 grams

Victorian Longuard chain, with ornate ball spacers in 9ct Rose Gold with dog clip c1890s

These chains were originally worn long and tucked into clothing, usually suspending a pocket watch or longnettes

Today they are worn as very versatile chain necklaces and they look great! Wear doubled or trebled around the neck for a layered look. A pendant or charm can easily be suspended from the dog clip or wear as is - as the dog clip is a lovely feature in itself!
