How do you wear a long guard necklace?

These chains are long enough to be worn doubled or tripled around the neck, creating a layered appearance with varied lengths. They can also be worn fully extended as a single strand or fitted with a pendant using the original dog clip.

What is the difference between a guard chain and a watch chain?

Guard chains were traditionally worn by women to secure pocket watches, lorgnettes, or eyeglasses to clothing or belts. Watch chains often include specific pocket watch clips and tend to vary in length depending on their intended pocket attachment.

Can you add a pendant to these chains?

Many long guard necklaces feature original dog clips or spring rings that readily accept charms, lockets, or pocket watches. The robust construction of gold and silver curb or belcher links supports the secure suspension of decorative pendants.
