A surprisingly contemporary-looking Victorian sterling silver “collar” necklace.

Designed to be worn with a substantial locket, this piece is an eye-catching, statement accessory on its own.

Circular bead mounted open-cut links are interspersed with flat bottom oval links.

The split ring catch is sound and in good working condition.

There is a slight indentation on one link adjacent to the catch as photographed.

Circa 1890. 

Metal: Tests for Continental silver.

Length end to end: 45cm.

Width of links: 1.4 cm

Total weight: 34.2 gm
