FAQs

Victorian long chains, often referred to as guard chains or sautoirs, gained immense popularity during the 19th century as practical yet decorative pieces designed to hold watches, lockets, or lorgnettes.

French jewellers of the late 19th century predominantly utilised 18-karat yellow gold, frequently incorporating techniques such as filigree, repousse, and fine wirework.

Authenticity is typically verified through period-appropriate hallmarks, such as the French eagles head denoting 18ct gold, alongside hand-assembled link construction and characteristic surface wear consistent with age.

Antique chains can be layered with modern fine jewellery or worn doubled for a classic look, pairing well with both casual tailoring and evening wear.

Preservation involves storing pieces flat or on soft surfaces to prevent kinks, cleaning gently with warm soapy water and a soft brush, and avoiding harsh chemical ultrasonic cleaners.
