This lovely necklace is the perfect mix of a necklace and features of an old watch chain. Made pre-1973 each link is lovingly marked with a "9ct" hallmark. The Albert clasps, which have lovely bounce back, also feature the hallmark "WB" which tells us that this is a Queensland made gold necklace by the Australian firm Wallace Bishop. Now a massive chain store, Wallace Bishop began life as a single store in Brisbane - and at over 50 years of age this will be from some of their earlier days. Each little section of 12 belcher links is separated by gorgeous engraved finals and large jump rings, these add a lovely feature and continue all the way around the neck.

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.
