Exquisitely crafted in pinchbeck during the early 19th century, it has been later gilded in rich 18ct yellow gold, imparting it with a sumptuous, warm glow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBoth fashionable and functional, guard chains were an essential accessory in the 19th century. Designed to be generously long, they could be tucked neatly into a belt, while the ring allowed for the attachment of a pocket watch, lorgnette glasses, or even a cylinder of fur known as a muff, ensuring swift access to personal essentials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIn excellent condition, this silky chain is versatile enough to be worn as a striking single statement strand, or artfully looped two or three times around the neck to create cascading layers of shimmering gold. The result is the coveted “neck mess” look, easily personalised with pendants and charms for a truly individual finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWEIGHT\u003c\/b\u003e: 51.2 grams   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMEASURES\u003c\/b\u003e: Length 74 inches x Width 5mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMETAL\u003c\/b\u003e: Pinchbeck\/ 18ct Gold gilt\u003cspan style=\"mso-tab-count: 1;\"\u003e        \u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAGE\u003c\/b\u003e: Georgian.
