A beautifully distinctive and wonderfully wearable antique chain, dating to approximately 1910, crafted in rich 18ct yellow gold with elegant platinum knot links throughout.
 
This exceptional piece features a refined paperclip-and-knot link design, combining elongated, polished 18ct gold links with beautifully contrasting platinum knot connectors, creating a sophisticated bicolour aesthetic characteristic of the late Edwardian to early Art Deco era.
 
At 16.45 inches, this is an especially versatile length, sitting beautifully at the collarbone whether worn alone, layered, or styled with a favourite pendant or locket. The original swivel dog clip remains intact, adding both practicality and period charm, while allowing for easy styling and secure wear. The clip retains a fading “18” stamp, consistent with age.
 
Beautifully weighted at 19.55g, this chain has a luxurious presence without feeling overly heavy, substantial enough to feel special, yet effortlessly wearable. Antique chains with such timeless proportions, original fittings, and this elegant knot-and-paperclip configuration are becoming increasingly difficult to source.
 
A chic and highly collectable antique staple, equally perfect as an everyday signature chain or layered within a more curated antique stack.
