The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Gold curb chains emerged as popular utilitarian and decorative accessories during the 19th century, frequently used for pocket watches, guard chains, and neckwear. Their interlocking flattened links were designed for strength and comfort against clothing, making them a staple of Victorian and Edwardian fine jewellery.

These chains were traditionally hand-assembled using solid high-carat gold, such as 15ct or 18ct yellow gold. Each curb link was individually formed, twisted, flattened, and soldered, completed with functional clasps like heavy bolt rings or swivel hooks.

Authentic antique chains typically display period hallmarks indicating gold purity and maker marks on individual links or clasps. They exhibit slight variations from hand-finishing, subtle surface wear consistent with age, and distinct clasp mechanics such as original spring-loaded bolt rings.

A classic gold curb chain offers versatility, suitable for wearing unadorned as a standalone statement piece or layered alongside finer contemporary necklaces. The prominent bolt ring clasp can also be positioned at the front to suspend an antique locket or charm.

Clean gently using warm water, mild soap, and a soft-bristled brush, ensuring the bolt ring mechanism is fully dried afterwards. Store separately in a fabric-lined box to prevent scratching from contact with other metal pieces.
