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 two tone preloved 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 bolt clasp.
solid sterling silver + gold plating on the longer links
MEASUREMENTS
just shy of 16.5" long when clasped — it could be worn at a shorter length by using one of the longer links as a bail
longer oval links are ~5.7mm wide
dog clip style clasp measures ~23.8mm long — for a pendant's bail to fit onto this clasp the inner diameter must be at least 2.25mm
sailor clasp is ~12mm across — for a pendant's bail to fit onto this clasp the inner diameter must be at least 2.7mm
weighs 15g

in good reworked vintage condition
-almost no patina throughout the links and clasps
-the gold plating on the longer links has some fading and is nonexistent where the links overlap, but this seems to be a feature of the design
-are the silver links rhodium plated? maybe!
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
-bail and jump ring between the clasps and the chain are NOT soldered shut, but are a thick, sturdy gauge
