ANTIQUE VICTORIAN GUARD CHAIN 18CT GOLD ON SILVER CIRCA 1880

A robust Antique Victorian guard chain made up of strong Silver cable links which have been gilded in 18ct Yellow Gold.

The chain has developed a lovely smoothness with age and each link shines wonderfully in the light. It can be worn as one long chain or wrapped twice around the neck.
