Antique Extra Large Dog Clip Charm Clasp

A solidly made antique dog clip crafted in 14k yellow gold, circa 1890, so rare in this highly coveted extra large size. Originally meant to hold a pocket watch at the end of a watch chain, today it's perfect as a charm holder or connector for chains or necklaces: style it your way, any way you'd like. 

Details: Measuring approximately 1 3/4" long, with the hook 2.25 mm thick, so should accommodate bails and jump rings with at least a 3 mm inside diameter. The hook swivels so it will lay the way you prefer when worn. Not marked for gold content but professionally tests to 14k, weigh approximately 5.7 grams.

Condition: In excellent antique condition with a light patina, the spring action of the hook lever and the swivel are in strong working order. There is some light wear to the inside of the bail loop, please examine photos.
