Antique 9ct Micro Fetter/Trombone Chain

Victorian 9ct gold chain (1890–1900). Marked 9ct.

£395
Hard Gold PlatingOptional upgrade · a rich, durable gold finish

Description

A dainty one. Antique 9ct gold micro fetter/trombone chain, long open links broken up by little clusters of cable links, finished with a tiny bolt ring clasp. The gold has that warm, slightly rosy tone you get with old 9ct, and in this micro size the pattern has a beautifully fine, almost lacy look. Fine enough to sit alone on the collarbone and sturdy enough to carry charms or pendants. The original bolt ring is a lovely touch too, much prettier than a modern clasp. The perfect everyday antique chain and a great one for layering. If yu love the link but prefer your gold yellow, simply add Hard Gold Plating in 9ct or for a more buttery colour, 18ct.
