Exceptional Victorian 18ct gold long chain featuring distinctive swirled oval links and a rich, deep yellow hue that closely resembles 22ct gold. Likely of French origin with an English replacement bolt ring stamped "18C", all consistent with the Victorian era.
Weighing 16.85 grams and measuring 20.5 inches in length and 5mm wide, this elegant piece is ideal for displaying charms and pendants. The chain retains natural patina, particularly within the curves of the links, enhancing its antique character. Very good condition with minor age-related dings.
A rare and refined collector’s piece.
