This antique 18ct yellow gold fine curb link watch chain is a beautiful and versatile piece, crafted with meticulous attention to detail, as to be expected with jewellery made during the 19th century.
 
Featuring stamped, solid gold links (not hollow), a dog clip clasp, a bolt ring, and a removable T-bar extender, this chain offers multiple styling options. The T-bar can be worn as a pendant, used to extend the chain’s length, or styled with the bolt ring to create a toggle effect for added versatility.
 
The chain, measuring 14.75 inches on its own and up to 16.40 inches with the T-bar extender, is a perfect piece for layering or wearing solo. The chain links are 3mm wide and remain in excellent condition with little to no wear, though the stamps on some links show slight fading. The dog clip is fully functional and secure, while the bolt ring, though slightly sticky when pulled fully open, still closes securely (please note, if you pull it fully open, you will need to ensure it is closed before wearing).
 
Hallmarked with a crown and "18" on every curb chain link, and "18C" stamps on the dog clip, bolt ring and t-bar (some faded due to age), the piece includes a Birmingham hallmark and the date letter "N" for 1862 on one of the O-rings. Weighing 20.68g in total and with all its original components, this chain is both a stylish and historical addition to your antique jewellery collection.
