Crafted from 14k uber-vibrant yellow gold (XRF tested between 14k-16k), this antique Victorian Book Chain Collar necklace is modeled with flower/clover components affixed to the top of each gorgeous raised link. The color of this gold, with a patina only a century of time can create, is absolutely phenomenal. It looks as if sunshine radiates from within and shines bright even in the gloomiest of light. Finished with an oversized rosy yellow gold floating spring ring clasp that measures 15.5mm in diameter, hallmarked “14” and is a bit more rosy in color than the chain but still looks utterly fabulous. The links each measure 17.5mm with a 9mm beveled ring in between. A few of the raised links have been pushed down but I’d say overall this is in amazing condition for its age. The length of the chain is 19” and has a total weight of 31.4 grams.
Victorian chains like these (especially in this condition) are becoming almost impossible to find and the few I’ve seen out there right now are priced well above what I’m asking for this beauty. I encourage you to take a look at some comparison pieces and you’ll find that these chains are few and far between.
