This beautiful antique and vintage 'fine' jewellery piece has been created using the ever coveted and collectable solid sterling silver 'paperclip' link, fancy antique Albert watch chain. Each link of this gorgeous sold silver chain is individually Hallmarked with the Lions passant, identifying real British Sterling.
Keeping in context with the Victorian era and style, I have married the watch chain up with a beautiful Victorian piece (previously a brooch), which has the most exquisitely detailed floral design work to its surface, inlaid with rose gold and yellow gold, along with divine textural detailing by way of engraving and relief work. From this centre piece I have added a short length of chain; suspended from which is an antique chunky T bar; acting as the perfect finial to ground this piece.
The necklace fastened at the back of the neck by way of the watch chains original Albert swivel fastener. Additionally, I have added a short chain extension to the last link allowing the necklace to be worn at a longer length if desired.
The necklace fastens centrally to the rear by way of the original watch chain Albert swivel fastener.
A substantial and chunky heirloom cool piece of jewellery. Wear it alone or layer it up with any of my other shorter or longer necklaces. Be uniquely you!

Sometimes there may be a little 'scarring' to the reverse where the piece was once a brooch in a previous life. However, this does not detract from the beauty and individuality of the item, but rather tells a story...
Polite Notice: This vintage piece has been lovingly restored and any imperfection, which may have occurred through the years, only adds to the individuality and character of the necklace. This is the nature and the joy of vintage and antique jewellery. If you are expecting an item to be like 'brand new', then vintage jewellery may not be for you.......
Caring for your vintage jewellery: Please treat your vintage necklace with the care and respect deserving of its age. Rub gently with a soft polishing cloth periodically to keep its vibrancy. Please do not bathe in your vintage jewellery. Avoid dropping on hard surfaces. Enjoy!
