Victorian Enamel Paper Clip Chain Necklace

The pristine enamel on the links of this circa 1880 Victorian 14k paper clip chain really elevate it to the next level. Each bar link is exquisitely detailed with a tiny floret in a field of jet black. a gorgeous contrast to the bright yellow hue of the metal. The ends are finished with the original bolt and clip clasps, as this was likely originally meant as a watch chain, and as it's a shorter length we've created an extender of natural black spinel beads to give it more versatility.

I'm so tempted to keep it!

Details: The chain itself measures approximately 14 1/4" end to end including the clasps, with a 3.6 mm width at widest. The spinel extender is 4" long with gold-filled findings. The chain clasps are marked for 14k, the chain is XRF tested to confirm 14k. Weight of the chain itself is 11.9 grams.

Condition: In excellent antique condition with a light patina but no disfiguring dents or scratches or enamel wear. The clasos are in strong working order.
