14 Carat Fancy Bar Link Chain
A solid fourteen carat gold bar and circle link necklace. This is a lovely quality, long and well made chain. The design is a long bar with a half twisted and plain design connected by two small links either side, joined by a larger round link that almost appears to be a wreath design. The centers have a twisted rope design that almost looks like a floral wreath. This is a very high quality and early chain. It has a good weight to it while remaining delicate, weighing just over twelve grams, and is just over thirty inches in length, so a very comfortable size. Given its length there is no need for a clasp. However, as is the way with good quality chains, there is a clasp. Not just any clasp. It has a stunning sprung clip style. It almost resembles a shepherds crook style. These are quite early, coming in different sizes in the beginning and early nineteenth century. This is a gorgeous, rare and early chain. If you are looking for something of a good length, fine, but detailed,
