Watch chains with every link hallmarked make us weak at the knees. The care, the attention to detail, and the cost to the original maker for every single strike mark. These all show how important and significant this item was to its original owner, a status symbol - a 9ct chain for their pocket watch to wear on their waistcoat. Made by William Henry Ashford of Birmingham at some point at the start of the 20th Century this watch chain has travelled the seas to find its way to us here. This amazing chain will need an extender - it does not reach around the neck as is - but with an extender and the re-moveable t-bar this is a chain ready to add old school glamour to your neck mess.

Width 4.8-4.9mm curb t-bar 29.25 x 5.35 x 8.5mm 21mm Albert Clasp

Condition - links show wear associated with age - one link has more wear than the others - the t-bar perhaps sat there originally - see photos - it is in the middle. This link is still fine, it just looks slightly different. 

Care - As a general rule - jewellery should not be worn for strenuous tasks that may put pressure, chemicals and weight on them (think cleaning, gym, carrying things). Jewellery should be checked every six months by a jeweller to check for wear.

Please be aware that this item is pre-loved and therefore is NOT new. Please see the pictures and description to ensure you are happy with it before you buy. Stones may have tiny marks, chips or flea bites, metal will have marks of wear like surface scratches; but any bigger flaws will be clearly highlighted above. Also note - none of the other items or props in the photo come with the item and all measurements are approximate.

All items are available on lay-by - please get in touch to discuss options.

FAQ

Sizing

What do we mean when we say a ring is "sizeable"? Well, most standard rings can be made bigger or smaller by up to three letter sizes. If we say the item is "moderately sizeable", this usually means about 1 size, and if we say it is "not sizeable" or that "sizing is not recommended" it will be due to the construction - it could be age related, pattern related, have enamel etc.

We can happily help with sizing of rings, so please do get it touch if we can give you a quote.
