Antique 9 carat gold chain extender. The Victorian chain is crafted from classic and timeless curb links which have their original Victorian gold stamps. At one end is a jump ring, soldered closed for safety, and the other has a dog clip.

A lot of antique chains, originally made for gentlemen's watches, are too short for how they are typically worn now, by women as neck chains. We've added a dog clip, also 9 carat, from the same era, so that this piece can be used as an extender to your favourite chain. Or as a drop to display a pendant! Circa 19th century chain and dog clip, we've attached them together.

9ct stamp on the dog clip; anchor h on the jump ring on the dog clip end (anchor = Birmingham assay office, h = 1882), and stamped 9 . 375 and on the terminating jump ring. Each link stamped 9 . 375 (some are worn) Professionally tested and assessed as 9 carat gold throughout. The gold is between rose and yellow gold, much more warm than modern red gold, but probably closer to rose gold in colour.

Measures approx 75 mm / 3 inches in wearable length. Curb links graduate very slightly, 5.2 mm to 4.5 mm. Terminating jump ring has a internal diameter of 3.8 mm and the large dog clip, which does not swivel, is 16.75 mm long by 6.3 mm wide. The dog clip on this one is on the smaller side which has the benefit of being able to blend in more easily and fit into smaller chains or jump ring ends.

Weighs 4.5 grams.
