Edwardian Trombone Link Necklace
Excellent antique trombone link chain (aka paperclip chain) dating from the early 20th century, circa 1905. It's crafted in rosy 9 carat gold with solid links, individually stamped, and a T-bar and oversized bolt ring to hang charms. It closes with a dog tag clasp, and the gold has taken on a gorgeous, soft patina over the past 120ish years. Originally designed as a pocket watch chain, the 15.5 inch length makes it ideal for wear as a necklace.

Condition
We offer detailed and accurate condition reports on each listing. These pieces are antique, vintage, or pre-loved, often over 100 years old so they're going to have lived a life. A healthy patina and the odd scuff/scrape are quite normal... it's part of their charm! Everything we present has been checked over by our jeweller and should be good for wear for many years to come (unless otherwise stated) but please remember to treat them with appropriate care and consideration for their age.
