HOT ! Edwardian Muff Chain / Gold Filled Muff Chain with Dog Clip / 49 Inch Long Antique Muff Chain / Opal and Seed Pearl Watch Chain

An Antique Guard or Muff chain is one of the most versatile pieces in a jewelry wardrobe. You can wear it doubled or tripled so you have a layered look that is striking. The dog clip at the end can secure your charms or pendants or even an antique pocket watch that is as timeless today as it was 100 years ago.

This gold filled muff chain is lightweight and is perfect to wear in a layered look. The rope chain is strong and secure and it catches the light and looks wonderful. The slider is set with the original stones: three creamy white seed pearls and an opal. The slider has fluid movement throughout the chain. The back of the slider has an Etruscan revival look and the details are fine and lovely.

I personally wear a watch chain all the time, and depending on my neckline I will wear it long to lengthen my torso, or wear it up close to my neck with a large pocket watch or fob suspended. It is a very complimentary look at gets a lot of attention.

The dog clip is not marked with the manufacturer\'s hallmark, but it is a gold filled piece which is typical of the time period. The dog clip is marked with the manufacturer\'s trademark and is marked \"CAM & CO\". Cam & Co is the trademark for Cathedral Art Metal Co. Inc. which manufactured jewelry from Providence, RI.

The slider has the shape of conjoined circles - a perfect representation of lovers or for a sweetheart. In one circle is a lively opal gemstone and the other circle are three creamy white seed pearls.

The chain is very strong and secure and very thick and solid. This chain is 49 inches in length so it is very long.
