Mid-Victorian 12KT Gold Chain

Circa 1860. An exceptional example of early Victorian goldwork, this long chain is crafted in 12-karat gold, a fineness widely favored in the mid-19th century for its warm tone and durability. Weighing an impressive 51.37 grams and measuring a dramatic 62 inches, the chain was designed to be worn long and layered—true to period fashion. This highly wearable antique chain is perfect as a statement piece on its own or as a foundation for layering treasured pendants and lockets.
