A strikingly elegant niello and gilt silver chain, crafted in Europe circa 1900.

Measuring 150cm, this elongated figaro-style guard chain features alternating links with fine black niello inlay, a high-contrast metallic technique, paired with warm gold-toned silver.

Originally worn to carry watches, lorgnettes or lockets, this type of chain reflected style, wealth, and practicality in equal measure.

Today, it’s an effortlessly cool statement, no pendants required. Loop it once, twice, or three times for a layered and glamourous impact.

Available exclusively at ELTONS, Grays Antique Market, Mayfair, London.
