Elegant Victorian Slide Chain with Engraved Slide

This Victorian slide chain necklace is so elegant. The pretty slide is shaped like a scalloped diamond, with delicate engraved details. The slide runs along a long, gold filled curb chain; the color of the metal is a subtle rosy gold color. The chain is finished with a small watch hook. Slide chains were originally meant to hold a small ladies' watch. It may still be used for this, of course, but these chains are very versatile and may be worn in many ways. It may be doubled for a shorter look and you can hang pendants, fobs, lockets, or whatever strikes your fancy from the hook. Circa 1870.
