Victorian Pique Cable Link Chain
$0.00
An incredible late 19th century Victorian chain necklace, an over-sized cable link design with the rosy-yellow gold decoration of stars and meander pattern inlaid into the surface of natural tortoise shell: a centuries old handcraft known as "pique" work.
Details: Measuring approximately 19" long, the links 1/2" wide. Pique is usually done with a higher karat gold sheet, and we can confirm the elements here are solid gold, but cannot determine the exact karat.
Condition: In excellent antique condition with a few light nibbles along the edges of a few links, not easily noticed when worn. The pique pattern is complete without noticeable missing pieces.
