36" long

Lovely antique late 1800s to turn of the century yellow gold filled lorgnette or watch chain slide necklace with fancy link curb chaining and original Victorian etched, enameled and pearl slide. The slide is barrel shaped and measures 9/16" long and holds its original small pearl. Entire length of chain is 36" long which makes for an 18" necklace. Width is 3.5 mm across on the single chain. This chaining is the original early gold filled linkage would expect to fine on late Victorian and turn of the century slides. The slide itself is unmarked and is quite fancy with the original sea pearl on top, black enamel tracery work and some twisted gold on top. Overall condition is excellent. All of the gold filled chain is still bright and clean. No worn spots. Beautiful condition, well kept over the years. This is a lovely, well preserved example of antique slide jewelry in a nice longer 18" length as a necklace for your antique ladies pocket watch and estate jewelry collection.
