FAQs

A longuard chain is a historically long necklace worn by women during the Victorian era, often used to suspend pocket watches, lorgnettes, or pendants.

They are traditionally crafted from 9-carat or 15-carat gold and frequently feature maker marks, assay office stamps, or carat marks on the swivel clasp or jump rings.

Authenticity is determined by examining construction techniques such as hand-assembled links, traditional barrel or swivel clasps, and period-appropriate gold alloy composition and wear.

These versatile chains can be worn doubled around the neck, layered with other necklaces, or utilized to hold modern pendants and charms.

Clean gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoid harsh chemical dips or ultrasonic cleaners, and store flat in a lined jewellery box to prevent tangling.
