About the Item

A Victorian gold snake longuard chain comprised of layered scales with a swivel hook, in 15k. The chain is designed as a continuous series of tightly articulated links fashioned to resemble overlapping serpent scales, creating a fluid, sinuous texture that drapes elegantly when worn. The intricate construction allows the chain to move with remarkable flexibility while maintaining a substantial presence. Longuard chains were a staple of Victorian jewelry and were often worn doubled around the neck or used to suspend lockets, watches, or other pendants. * Free shipping * Includes letter of authenticity for insurance purposes * Please do not hesitate to request a video or additional photos of specific details.
