This is fairly heavy and solid pendant necklace, I believe that it was originally a victorian watch/Albert chain and that the bolt ring was added later to make it into a necklace. The bolt ring is stamped 800, 835 or 850 - it is really difficult to make out but I have taken a close up photo of the stamp for your inspection. I think it is a later addition anyway as it looks a bit tight where it is attached to the chain and it isn't soldered. I think the rest of the chain is at least continental grade silver, possibly Indian, but selling as white metal - I will try to have it tested and add more info over the next couple of days. The chain measures 16 inches and is very well made - the double belcher type links are all soldered (i.e. they don't open) , and have a rope twist detail around the middle of the two joined links which ties the design to the hollow filigree ball shaped pendant or fob, as this also has a rope twist decoration. I added the tassel myself as I thought it looked more attractive with it, but this can easily be removed. The filigree pendant has lost 3 little balls or 'granules' from the filigree work - one big(ish) one from near the middle and a little one from either end (top and bottom). This is not very noticeable but I have taken a lot of photos for you to inspect before deciding on a bid. It weighs 37 grams in total. please see all of the photos for details. Please feel free to contact me for more information if I have omitted any details that may be important to you. :) See below for t&c's and combined shipping discount. Start prices are low and there is no reserve, so please have a look at my other items :) I will be selling more of my collection of beautiful old jewellery over the next few months. I have collected a lot of vintage and antique jewellery over the years and enjoy selecting and photographing interesting pieces to list on eBay from time to time. My taste is quite eclectic but I do like good design and well made pieces, I love natural materials like coral, amber and whitby jet, agate and other semi-precious stones. I also collect vintage Norwegian enamel, Scottish silver jewellery and anything Victorian, Edwardian and Art Deco, particularly Czech and Venetian art glass necklaces. I love beads! I also like quirky and unusual pieces so please check back from time to time :) Nearly all of my items are used/vintage/pre-loved and I try to take good clear photos and mention any significant wear - If you are new to buying vintage jewellery please don't expect items to be as new or 'mint' unless stated. Photos are enlarged so that you can inspect the items before bidding - please use the weights and measurements given. I try to remember to use 5p and 10 cent (euro) coins in at least one of the photos to show relative scale. A 5p coin is almost exactly the same size as a US dime.
