Beautiful early 19th century, Georgian era gold long guard chain c. 1820.
The fabulous figural fist holds onto a hinged dog clip, which is held in place by a small threaded nut. The hand or fist has a wonderful fancy cuff and swivels forward and backward on the handle.
It also has a beautiful gold slide engraved on both sides, and the chain can be worn in a variety of different ways, doubled or tripled for medium and choker length styles.
Perfect for creatively styling with fobs and pendants or beautiful on its own.
Very special and unique piece. These are hard to come by but I am always seeking them out because they are so cool!
Unmarked but tested. All parts test at 14k gold except for the slide, which tests closer to 10k gold.
