A rare and elegant French guard chain dating to circa 1880. Crafted in rich 20 karat gold, this this long, fluid chain was designed to be worn doubled, tripled, or as a sautoir, reflecting the elegance and versatility of late 19th century French style. The warm, deeply saturated hue of the 20k gold lends the chain a luxurious depth and softness, while its supple construction allows it to drape beautifully on the body. Timeless and versatile, this antique French guard chain is equally striking worn alone or used to suspend pendants, charms, seals, or lockets.
