Antique: Long Chain in 18k Gold, Belle Époque

Antique Long Chain: 18k Yellow-Gold, 60"

This extra-long, link chain is stunning. It is from what the Europeans call the Belle Époque period (and what the English call Edwardian). The chain is 18k, but the color is so rich that it looks like it is 20 or 22k.

This extremely fine chain is hand-made of alternating geometric oblong and round links. The closure is a watch clip and spring ring.

Because of its length, a little over 60 inches, it can be worn in many different ways. You can wear it tripled, doubled, or as one extremely long chain. The possibilities are endless.
