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 pre-loved ball bead snake-like tube chain has been re-worked with a new clasp reminiscent of a watch chain — a new clasp in the style of a bolt/sailor clasp
gold plating is a lesson in non attachment and it will wear away revealing the silver beneath. re-plating is an option, but it's not possible to predict how quickly the plating will fade.
solid sterling silver + gold plating + time-earned patina offering a brassy hue

17.5" long when clasped
