This is a rare opportunity to own a versatile piece of Victorian "Mixed Metal" history. Crafted circa 1890, this Niello and 9K Rose Gold Vermeil chain is the perfect "missing link" for your jewelry wardrobe. Whether you are looking for a sophisticated choker, a substantial multi-wrap bracelet, or a rare extension for an existing Niello collection, this 15.25-inch specimen is an absolute essential.
This chain features the highly coveted Trombone link silhouette, alternating with elegant round connectors.
• The deep, gunmetal-black of the hand-integrated Niello provides a dramatic backdrop for the warm, glowing 9K Rose Gold Vermeil (authenticated and tested).
• It comes complete with its original Victorian Swivel Dog-Clip and a large Bolt Ring, both featuring period-correct Niello detailing.

2. The Bracelet: Wrap it twice around the wrist for a chunky, layered antique bracelet look.
3. The Extender: Use it to add length to another Niello watch chain, transforming a standard necklace into a dramatic "Opera" length piece.
