An exquisite Victorian-era French Long Guard Watch Chain crafted in 18K Yellow Gold, featuring a hand clasp and a screw-on dog clip. This exquisite piece is adorned with a decorative floral embossed enamel sliding bead that can be adjusted along the chain.
The chain showcases a snake-link design, leading to a gloved hand clasp that secures a stirrup connected to the screw-on dog clip. It offers versatile styling options: wear it with the hand clasp facing front, or position it with the slider in front for a bold statement. The chain can be worn doubled or clasped on one end.
