Victorian Gold Belcher Link Guard Chain

A Victorian gold belcher link guard chain, the open round belcher chain, each link engraved with a chevron pattern, to a barrel push clasp, circa 1860.In the mid-Victorian era, when this piece was created, long chains such as these would have held a fob watch. Today, they look lovely doubled up around the neck alone or with a few gold charms hung from them. This is a classic and wearable textured chain. Joanna Hardy says: “Belcher is one of the strongest chain links, but the textured links of this chain make it stylish today, as well as secure. I particularly like the roundness of its links, which makes it lightweight to wear, though looking heavy €“ a typical feature of mid-Victorian jewellery. A timeless necklace.€
