Chains

Antique silver fetter/paperclip link (these terms are all very much a likeness and are often used interchangeably) These links are larger than most and have real presence, each bearing the lion passant mark for sterling silver. Originally worn on a gentleman's waistcoat to suspend his pocket watch from, these chains have become a very popular choice for necklaces and are perfect for suspending charms and pendants from, the open links lend themselves very well to this. Fixed T Bar and a single dog clip clasp (T Bar can be removed on request)

An antique silver double Albert chain that mixes long coil links with perfect lovers knot links. Each bar link is an open silver frame with a dark coil of wire running down the centre with adjoining lovers knot links. Double dog clips and T Bar are all original and all carry the same makers mark - W.J.S. This example is long enough to wear round the neck or doubled as a bracelet - T Bar can be removed on request. Exceptional condition with very little wear.

An antique vulcanite mariner chain with a large oval locket. The locket hangs from a tapered bail and is engraved on the front with a bird in flight among leafy sprays. It opens on a hinge to two oval frames, ready for a photograph or a lock of hair. Vulcanite is a hardened rubber, and the Victorians used it as a more affordable alternative to Whitby jet, especially in mourning jewellery. This example fastens with an antique 9ct gold bolt ring, not common on these chains and a lovely addition. Note the locket is integral to the chain. 16 inch wearable length Locket - 66mm incl bail x 39mm

An antique silver Albert chain with infinity links. Each long link is twisted into a figure of eight, and they're joined by small round links. There's a dog clip on a swivel at one end and a plain round ring at the other. The twisted links catch the light as they move and make it more interesting than a plain curb chain. Wear it with an extender as a necklace, or as an Albert with a fob or a watch on the dog clip. The dog clip is a hinged clip with threaded collar security. Continental Silver mark on clip.
