a chunky, plump, rounded 1940s 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 sailor clasp.

in good reworked vintage condition
-the chain is from the 1940s and was sourced in 80+ years of patina and grime, it has been cleaned and cleaned and lightly hand polished, leaving a modest amount of patina throughout the links — further polishing decisions are left to the next caretaker
-clasps are new and have minimal wear
-jump rings that connect the clasps to the chain are not soldered shut, but are a sturdy gauge, and they don't lie perfectly flat with the figaro chain
-chain links and clasps are mismatched for hue because of the difference in patina, which will even out with wear and exposure to the air
this is a reworked vintage item and will show surface scratches, dents, dings, dulling, wear, patina, and signs of having been worn and loved
