love the look of vintage and antique watch chains, but don't want the hassle of finding an original chain without problematic quirks? voila! a solution that's both old and new
a vintage figaro chain has been re-worked with new clasps reminiscent of a watch chain — a new clasp in the style of a dog clip clasp, but without the swivel feature, and a new clasp in the style of a sailor clasp.
the clasps are chunky, so they are best for charms/pendants with larger bails
solid sterling silver + gold plating

in good reworked vintage condition
the gold plating shows very little wear
chain was sourced dark with patina and a liquid cleaner was used to remove the dark spots — gold plating doesn't want to be hand-polished, because friction isn't friends with gold plating
jump rings between chain and clasps are not soldered shut, but they're a thick, sturdy gauge. they do not lie flat like the curb links
variations in gold hue between chain, jump rings, and clasps
clasps are new and have minimal wear and are slightly mismatched for gold hue
this is a reworked vintage item and will show surface scratches, dents, dings, dulling, wear, patina, and signs of having been worn and loved
