I am selling an assortment of vintage to antique jewelry which I have hunted for and gathered from around the world. Please see my other offerings and thanks for stopping by!ABOUT:
Beautiful French antique curb link chain bracelet in rose gold fill with a dangling attached little bell. Makes a beautiful and delicate tinkling sound. Very elegant. I have a few other chains and antique charms that could be added so please see my other offerings.
This would also be great to connect to other chains to create a necklace, It could also be used as a chatelaine or watch chain. Antique pieces that I acquired in France.
Beautiful rosy patina, the bell is hallmarked FIX and the chain ORIA - which both indicate a process of high quality hot gold foil laminating onto brass created by Francois Savard of Paris in the late 1800s / early 1900s. An unusually thick layer of 14-18k gold foil over brass forms the jewelry to withstand long term wear. The French were known for their high quality gold fill fabrication methods during this time.
MEASUREMENTS:
Chain is 7.5 inches in length. The little bell is 12.5mm to the top of the mini handle by 11.5mm wide.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
Please note that all my pieces are pre-owned with some age to them so they are in estate condition. It is 100 years old or more so there is some surface wear and scratches. No dings or dents. They have that pretty bloomed / layered gold patina under magnification. But Please note that due to age, this piece is not in mint condition.
I have many more antique pieces listed so please see my other items and thanks for stopping by!
