The epitome of chunky yet elegant, this Victorian book chain collar necklace features chubby solid gold round links alternating with semi-solid rounded rectangular links in the iconic 'book chain' design.
Book chain necklaces were hugely popular during the second half of the 19th century and used to showcase statement cameo pendants and lockets. We think this fabulous chain looks incredible with this rare statement pocket watch!
The hidden clasp, in the form of a slightly larger round link, doubles as a charm holder that can also be completely removed from the chain to allow you to wear it with your other favourite pieces.
A truly unusual find, you will love styling this fantastic chain into your neckmess!
