Victorian 18k Beaded Link Watch Chain
Victorian 18k Beaded Link Watch Chain
For gentlemen of the Victorian era, a gold watch chain was an indispensable accessory; a socially acceptable bit of flare at a time when menswear was a strictly-defined uniform. Today, they are most often worn as necklaces. We come across a seemingly infinite variety of links and patterns, wonderful and subtle variations that speak to the original wearer’s individuality.
