Antique 15ct Gold Trombone & Knot Link Guard Chain with Turquoise Clasp
Antique 15ct Gold Trombone & Knot Link Guard Chain with Turquoise Clasp
Rich in Victorian character and displaying wonderful craftsmanship, this is a highly distinctive Antique chain with impressive weight and presence.
The chain measures approximately 22 inches in length and weighs a substantial 44.6 grams, giving it a luxurious feel while remaining comfortable to wear. The elongated trombone links create a refined, architectural appearance, while the decorative knot connectors introduce texture and movement throughout the design. Trombone links are a classic antique chain style frequently seen in high-quality Albert chains, guard chains and fancy link necklaces.
One of the standout features is the beautiful turquoise set clasp, an unusual and highly attractive detail that adds further antique charm. The clasp is adorned with graduated turquoise cabochons, creating a striking contrast against the warm gold tone. As shown clearly in the photographs, one turquoise stone is missing from the clasp, though the piece still presents beautifully and retains significant decorative appeal.
Unlike many Antique chains that have lost their original fittings, this example retains its remarkable turquoise clasp, making it especially desirable for collectors who appreciate originality and period detailing. The clasp alone contributes greatly to the character and rarity of the piece.
The chain is not hallmarked but has been professionally tested using an XRF Analyser, confirming it as 15ct Gold. This is not unusual for Antique Jewellery of the period, where wear, alterations or manufacture can result in absent or partially lost marks.
The substantial 44.6 gram weight, elegant trombone links and decorative knot connectors combine to create a chain that feels both refined and impressive. Whether worn alone, layered, or paired with antique lockets,
