THE CHAIN IS NOT MARKED GOLD-FILLED, BUT NOT BEING MARKED IS TYPICAL FOR MID TO LATE 1800s PIECES. I HAVE MANY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE WITH ANTIQUE JEWELRY, AND CAN SAY WITH 99% CERTAINTY THAT THIS IS A GF PIECE. ALSO, I HAD THIS CHAIN PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED.

This antique Victorian chain necklace is a stunning piece of history. The gold-filled metal and fancy bar link chain make it a beautiful addition to any jewelry collection. The chain necklace is 54 inches in length and features a dog clip closure.

It had two uses. It served as a muff guard. A lady would thread the chain through her muff and then close the necklace behind her neck. This kept the muff secure when she removed her hands.

It was also used as a watch chain, with the watch being tucked into a pocket or belt or waistband when not in use. The chain would be worn around the lady’s neck with the watch attached by the dog clip in the front.

The necklace's style is of the 1850s-1920s era, making it a perfect accessory for any occasion.

The antique necklace is an original piece from the United States, but could be European made. This necklace is a must-have for anyone who appreciates vintage and antique jewelry.
