Victorian Gunmetal Long Guard Chain With 95 Open Back Paste Brilliants

(SOLD)

Newly listed to Metal Corset II is this stunning antique Victorian gunmetal long guard chain with 95 fully faceted bail set paste brilliants that sparkle like diamonds.

I've owned many of these gunmetal long guard chains with paste brilliants in the past, but never one with 95. Each paste brilliant measures 5mm in diameter.

This chain does not open. A swivel clasp at one end allows you to wear it in several different ways if desired. However, this chain was intended to hang a lorgnette or muff in the Victorian days.

Absolutely stunning and excellent period piece with no issues and totally original.

These Victorian gunmetal long guard chains with paste brilliants are becoming harder to find. So this one is a rare find.

Measures 57" in length continuous not including swivel clasp.

VICTORIAN GUNMETAL AND PASTE LONG GUARD OR LORGNETTE CHAIN

(SOLD)

I am thrilled to have found this beautiful antique treasure. This is an antique Victorian gunmetal and clear paste long guard or lorgnette chain with swivel clasp. It measures 60" in length and has seventy two (72) 5mm full cut round paste stones.

I've seen many of these chains before, and actually own one, but never one with as many paste stones as this chain has and I am proud to say, I own it!!!!
