A masterclass in Victorian craftsmanship, this 31.1-gram niello and 12k rose gold vermeil chain is in truly impeccable, investment-grade condition.
While many niello pieces from the 1800s suffer from fading or "grey-out," this example retains its deep, midnight-black pinstripe contrast and radiant rose gold glow.
• Rare "Infinity" Figure-8 Links: Most niello chains feature simple curb or bar links. This piece uses complex, textured Figure-8 links, symbolizing eternal style—a favorite among antique jewelry connoisseurs.
• Impeccable Preservation: The 12k rose gold vermeil is incredibly vibrant. It shows virtually no plating loss, which is exceptionally rare for a piece nearing its 150th birthday.
• The Weight: At 31.1 grams, it has a luxurious, "expensive" heft that feels substantial and secure on the neck.
• Versatile Length: Measuring 18-5/16", it sits perfectly as a standalone necklace or a base for a charm collection.
