Distinctive ribbon-bound sheaf links give this 58-inch 800 silver long guard chain texture, movement, and remarkable versatility.
The elongated links resemble bundles of wheat or grasses gathered by slender ribbons, alternating with smaller connecting links. Exceptionally well made, with individually soldered links, the chain combines decorative detail with substantial construction.
A swivel dog clip and spring ring offer flexible styling: wear it long, doubled, layered, or arranged with a pendant. Marked 800 for 80% silver, with an unidentified maker’s mark resembling an H with crossed tools. Its exact date and origin are unconfirmed.
Excellent vintage condition, with no damage or repairs. Both clasps are in excellent working condition.
