A weighty Sterling silver watch chain in alternating fetter (aka trombone) links and knot links. Circa 1910, this chain was originally worn on a gentleman’s waistcoat and used to secure his pocketwatch to his person, but has long been co-opeted as a chunky, unisex statement necklace.
The chain features a removable t-bar and a single swivel dog clip that is snappy and secure. Early 20th Century 925 hallmarks can be found on several of the links and on the loop of the t-bar which also has a tiny lion passant mark, used in the UK on items of sterling silver. The inside of the dog clip is hallmarked Sterling.
