This exquisite Victorian 15-carat gold book chain collar necklace is a testament to the era's fascination with intricate craftsmanship and opulent design. It's such a versatile piece and can be worn with the detailed links showing or with the smooth side on display, giving you two beautiful looks with one fabulous piece.
Dating back to the 1850s, this piece showcases the book chain style, characterised by its distinctive linked design. Each link is adorned with delicate filigree work, creating a mesmerizing play of light and shadow as you wear it. The chain's intricate detailing and substantial weight of 58.79g speak to the quality and artistry of the period.
The necklace measures 18.25 inches, with a 2.75-inch drop to the oversized statement bolt ring that is ideal for holding your favourite charms, pendants, lockets and pocket watches.
Hallmarked with two "15C" tags, one at each end of the chain, and "14k" on the small bolt ring, which is likely a slightly later antique replacement, this necklace is a true collector's item.
In excellent condition, you will reach for this piece for your daily stack as soon as you add her to your collection.
