A beautifully substantial vintage 18ct gold fancy trombone/fetter link chain with wonderfully elongated antique-inspired links throughout — a striking and highly wearable piece offering all the charm of Victorian trombone design, while likely dating slightly later in origin.
Weighing an impressive 41.39g and measuring approximately 21 inches long, this exceptional chain appears to be a vintage, possibly Art Deco, interpretation of an earlier Victorian trombone design. The elongated trombone links (approx. 30mm x 4mm each) create that iconic antique aesthetic so beloved by collectors, offering a fascinating later homage to classic Victorian design.
She boasts an oversized genuine Victorian 18ct bolt ring with faded ‘18c’ stamp, faded stamps to each long link likely once crown and ‘18’, and a vintage dog clip clasp. This combination of components gives her both wonderful authenticity and character, while also making her an incredibly versatile styling piece. Both clasps remain in excellent working condition. Under close inspection, a few links show very slight age-related misshaping, though this is not noticeable when worn and does not detract from her striking overall presentation.
A fabulous, weighty, and wonderfully versatile chain that layers beautifully, styles effortlessly, and offers the romance of antique trombone design with honest vintage appeal.
