This yellow gold filled chain measures 25 inches long with links that are 1.5 mm. wide. One end has a swivel that attaches to your watch and there is a decorative slide with 3 natural pearls and 2 red stones, may be rubies but I am not sure so let’s just call them red stones in the middle of this fancy slide. You can slide this slide up and down to adjust the chain to different lengths. This chain could also be used for a necklace by attaching a pendant to the swivel. these were originally made for the German lady field workers who wore them around their neck and the watch would fit in a apron pocket so when the bent over the watch would not fall on the ground and break, saving a expensive repair. Now they are collected like most nice antiques. Cir. late 1800's. |
