Antique gold Necklace Long Chain Sautoir 15ct English Victorian Jewelry (6682)

Antique Victorian necklace - long chain sautoir. 15ct gold. Made in England, late 19th century.

Measurements:

A little over 59 inches (151cm) long. Weight is 25.8 grams.

Description :

An extremely long, very solid gold chain that can be wound multiple times around the neck, arms or even as a belt around the waist. There are two alternating sections that make up the pattern: long, rectangular, box-like links with openwork in an escutcheon design. These alternate with sections composed of smaller individual links - some simple loops and some knotted wirework (like a reef knot about to be tied) for additional interest and variety. The pattern of the links adds dimentions of visual interest and strength to the chain. These chains are extremely versatile and can be worn many ways as well as with any outfit from jeans to elegant suits. Very well made. The jump loop (clasp) is not original to the chain and is silver.  

Marks:

No marks were found, but gold was electronically and acid tested to ensure metal purity.  Chain is 15k gold and later jump-ring is silver.  

Condition: Good with negligible wear commensurate with age. As mentioned, jump loop is not original. Please see enlarged pictures and don't hesitate to ask questions which we will do our best to answer.
