Fabulous antique Victorian sterling silver long guard chain with classic curb links, often known as a wheat chain. The chain terminates in an extra large dog clip so will accommodate the biggest lockets or pendants with ease - for scale the large locket we have shown in the photos in 3" (7cm) in length .
Add a locket or pendant or not, it has interest whether worn long, doubled or tripled. During the Georgian and Victorian eras these versatile chains were one of several jewels worn at the same time and were used to attach, and keep close at hand, all manner of things. Please note the locket is available for purchase separately.
