A Victorian era French Watch Chain in 18K Yellow Gold with a hand clasp and screw-on dog clip and a decorative floral slider that can be moved across the length of the chain.
The chain features four strand box-links attached to a gloved hand clasp that holds a decorative stirrup and screw-on dog clip while the other end has a larger sized spring ring.
This chain allows you to style it in multiple ways, wearing it with the hand clasp to the front for a more dramatic look, or to the back with the slider to the front for a more minimal and understated look. It works brilliantly with an extender to lengthen it, as well as doubled on your wrist as a bracelet.
The screw-on dog clip can be easily opened to hang your favourite pendants or charms.
