Victorian 9ct Yellow Gold Longuard Chain Necklace – Circa 1890

An exceptional, fine and impressive, antique 9 carat yellow gold longuard chain necklace; part of our diverse antique gold chain collections

This exceptional, fine and impressive antique chain has been crafted in 9ct yellow gold with a 10ct gold clasp.

The antique longuard chain necklace consists of rounded links.

By virtue of its length, this Victorian chain in gold may be worn as a two strand or three strand necklace, either with or without a pendant via the swivel clasp; alternatively the chain may be wrapped multiple times around the wrist to be worn as a bracelet.

The chain is hallmarked to the clasp with the fineness mark for 10ct gold mark (10) and the maker’s mark (M&M), in addition to being independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as 10 and 9 carat gold.

Victorian longuard chains were initially created for practical purposes, typically to secure watches or accessories. However, in contemporary times, they are valued for their artistry and adaptability. Quality examples are increasingly rare, making the purchase of one a means of acquiring a piece of wearable history.

This impressive longuard chain necklace in yellow gold is excellent quality and a superior gauge of gold.

The Victorian chain necklace is in excellent condition, with a clear hallmark to the clasp.

Lovely selection & excellent service

AC Silver has a stunning selection of antique and vintage items. Both of my brooches arrived right on time as indicated by the tracking. They are even lovelier in person and I look forward to wearing them for decades to come. Andrew and Gemma provided excellent communication and prompt dispatch. I would absolutely recommend working through them.

Excellent customer care.

I had to place the order over the phone as my internet was misbehaving. The lady who I spoke to could not have been more helpful and was particularly careful to get all the details correct. I was then informed about the collection and dispatch of the item purchased, by email. The item arrived as expected and it had been most well packed so that no harm could come to it. It was a delight to purchase this item from C6323, AC Silver, and I could not fault any aspect of their customer care. I was highly delighted with my silver mustard pot and it was much better than the pictures on the web site.
