Antique Belcher Chain | Green Zircon | 9ct

I recently came across some antique long-guard chains in excellent condition. For those not yet in the know, long guard chains were extremely long (often over 60") chains worn in the late 1800s with a pocket watch or keys secured at the end.

We've transformed them into shorter necklaces, each with their own gemstone to the centre.

This piece holds a marvellous zircon - at a whopping 6.24ct this stone has a gentle amount of haze and is a superp bright olive green tone. It's going to look amazing styled up or down & you'll never stop falling in love with this stone!

The chain is antique yellow gold, so you're right to expect a splash of warmth to it. I particularly love how each of the links are planished (diamond shaped facets) which has gently worn with age to give a beautifully subtle impact. We have finished with one of our own 9ct (new) dog clasps.
