18K Gold Victorian Alternating Link 18” Chain

$2,200.00

Circa the Victorian era, this French 18k gold chain alternates between a flattened elliptical link and series of small round links. The elliptical links are pierced in the center, allowing flecks of sunlight to sparkle through the open space of the links; the effect was constructed by hand-cutting a bar into the center of the link and then bisecting it with a beaded bar that adds a raised texture. The beautiful links are sequin-like with a matte patina that catches the light in a warm shimmer. The width of the links gives the chain a lot of presence on the neck, while still maintaining a light enough gage for the chain to present as feminine and elegant. At 18” long, it falls just below the collarbone, adding to the delicate look of the piece.

We have another chain with the same links in a longer length; the chains look wonderful worn together. See our 18K Gold Victorian French Alternating Link 24 3/4” Chain.

The chain weighs 9.9 grams. It is 18” long and 3/16” at its widest points. The chain is marked as 18k. It came from a longer chain that we divided into two; the original chain contained French hallmarks.
