Description
Lovely antique 1900 yellow gold filled lorgnette or watch chain slide necklace with double chaining and original Victorian etched slide. The slide is small measuring 5/16″ square and holds its original small emerald cabochon stone. Size of double chain is 24″ long. As 1 long single chain it is 48″ long. Width is 2mm across on the single chain; 4mm across the double chain. This chaining is the original early gold filled rope style you would expect to fine on late Victorian and turn of the century slides. The hook is marked US M&B. The slide itself is unmarked and looks like solid 14K gold as many of these small slides with gemstones were in the late 1800 to 1910. 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 nice, well preserved example of antique slide jewelry for your antique and estate jewelry collection.
