Repurposed into a perfectly proportioned necklace, this piece offers a refined, delicate aesthetic for the collector who loves \"true\" antique patina and intricate open-work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis chain features exquisite elongated \"Lantern\" links. Each link is an open-work cage of pinstriped niello, housing a delicate twisted-wire core. These airy links are joined by faceted silver curb links, creating a silhouette that is light, fluid, and incredibly comfortable for all-day wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece features what collectors call a \"Ghosted Rose Gold\" finish. The original rose gold vermeil has softened over a century of wear, leaving behind a subtle, warm champagne glow against the solid .800 silver. This \"honest wear\" provides a soft, romantic look that highlights the deep, dark pinstripes of the niello work perfectly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Length: A classic 17-1\/4\" (total length), sitting elegantly right at the collarbone.\u003cbr\u003e• Excellent antique condition. While the vermeil has softened, the niello remains crisp and dark. No broken wires, no repairs, and no thinning of the silver frames.\u003cbr\u003e• Both the original pinstriped niello bolt ring and the dog clip are in pristine working order with strong, snappy tension.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Material: Marked .800 Silver \u0026amp; Maker's Mark; Tested .800 Silver.\u003cbr\u003e• Weight: 16.7 Grams (A delicate, wearable weight that is perfect for layering).\u003cbr\u003e• Length: 16-3\/8\" (Chain only) \/\/ 17-1\/4\" (Total including clasps).\u003cbr\u003e• Style: Open-work Filigree \u0026amp; Curb Link.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile heavy niello chains are bold, these open-work versions are increasingly rare. The \"Lantern\" design provides a three-dimensional texture that catches the light from every angle. It is wearable history—subtle enough for every day, yet distinctively Victorian.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour necklace will arrive carefully presented in a gift box with shipping insurance included.
