Antique Gold Filled Bead Necklace Chain #8 Medium Uniform Choker 29.9g 14.75"
ABOUT:
Champagne taste on a beer budget?
In an effort to offer antiques at all budgets and price points - My next stock drop consists of all vintage and antique pieces in gold fill. Great to wear when traveling and make excellent gifts! At a fraction of the price of solid gold.
All are being sold as is, in pre-owned condition with signs of age and wear. No returns or exchanges so please note the details carefully before purchase. I am just trying to match them with loving homes, for the love of antiques and gold fill since I started out my career dealing in these.
Additional items shown in group photos will be listed separately in the shop and are shown for scale and color comparison.
We begin with:
Please note the measurements, please note the measurements, please please please please please note the measurements (sung to the cheerful children's melody "Super Simple Songs" with my 4 year old niece ; ).
The lengths and weights are in the title.
ABOUT:
This one has a hidden clasp and medium beads that are uniform in size all the way around. Diameter of the beads is 5.8mm. This one is the heaviest one of all the ones I have, despite not being the longest.
It has a sturdy hand feel but this has some wear to the gold fill around the centers and at each end down to the underlying brass. From afar it is not as evident but you can see the wear and age to the metal in the close up photos so please look for that. It occurs at the center where it is raised and receives the most contact, and then worn between the beads where they rub and spin against the adjacent beads. The wear in between is not as evident because they are tucked in against each other but you can see some of the spotting to the centers. Overall a very pretty patina and very sturdy hand feel.
Note that there are gaps to many of these chains which is intentional to allow the beads to move. If strung too tightly they don't drape properly. The gaps vary from piece to piece so please look for that in photos. It is usually worn at the back so that the front allows the beads to lie nicely.
Antique boxes, props, extras, etc are not included. Listing is for the one piece shown in the cover photo. Please note the measurements as I have small hands and it can be difficult to determine scale from pics. We lovelies all come in wonderfully unique shapes and sizes : ) - some of these are short chains.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
Surface wear. These often need an occasional re-polish after sitting in the jewelry box for a long time (at least compared to high carat solid gold).
They are all still wearable. Sold as is.
Please note due to age, this piece is not in mint condition. Pictures also serve as part of the description and condition report so please utilize the zoom feature which will magnify any wear significantly more than what is visible to the eye while wearing : )
