Details

An enchanting antique necklace pairing a gold-filled cross with paste stones and a long 12K gold-filled antique curb watch chain. The 44-inch chain features a beautiful gold-filled slide adorned with three opals and is shown doubled here at approximately 24 inches, creating a striking silhouette with the cross. Wear it doubled with the cross, or wear it long and add an antique locket or another favorite pendant for a look that feels entirely your own.

I love the unexpected beauty of these antique watch chains, originally made for practical use and now wonderfully suited to collecting and layering with antique jewelry. This example has the authentic character of age, with some expected wear to the gold-filled surfaces and some darkening to the paste stones, as shown in the photographs. The three opals add a lovely touch of color and luminosity to the warm antique gold.

  • Measures 24" as shown; cross-1-1/2" x 7/8".

Collector’s Notes.

Antique watch chains are wonderful examples of the way useful objects can become beautiful jewelry. Made to secure pocket watches, these finely linked chains were often finished with decorative slides, fobs, or other personal ornaments. Today, they make wonderfully versatile foundations for antique necklaces, especially when paired with lockets, crosses, charms, and other meaningful objects.

This necklace is particularly appealing for its unusual combination of the antique gold-filled cross, paste stones, three-opal slide, and long curb chain—a true Objet Trouvé with the look of something collected and assembled over time.
