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 chunky flat new old stock vintage curb 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. this chain also features its original lobster clasp, so it clasps both in front and in back
the clasps in the front are chunky, so they are best for charms/pendants with larger bails
solid sterling silver + gold plating
MEASUREMENTS
23.75" long when clasped
longer oval links are ~4.5mm wide
dog clip style clasp measures ~23.8mm long
sailor clasp is ~12mm across
weighs 21.6g
C O N D I T I O N
in good reworked vintage condition
the curb chain is new old stock vintage meaning it was stored, not worn, so any signs of age happened while in storage
the gold plating shows very little wear, but there are speckles of patina throughout the links and clasp — it's possible that a liquid solution that removes patina could remove these patina spots without compromising the plating. polishing with friction/cloth risks removing some of the gold overlay.
jump rings between chain and clasps are not soldered shut, but they're a thick, sturdy gauge. they do not lie flat like the figaro links
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
