Swedish Antique Longuard Chain as Double Length Necklace in 18k gold - 21 inch length
This long chain is what's known as a guard, longuard or muff chain. They were popular in the Victorian era and women would wear them in various configurations, doubling or tripling the long length for different looks. This one has an added spring clasp that makes it easy to wear as a double length chain with a free moving dog clip that drapes in front (for your charms perhaps?).
Doubled length drapes approximately 21.5 inches with an added 2 cm drop for the dog clip. Overall chain length is approximately 43 inches.
Chain is made of solid 765 gold (slightly more than 18k gold) with a link pattern of one long trombone link then 9 small curb links. The color is wonderfully rosey. Links are 2mm wide and the chain closes with a secure 18k gold spring clasp. 18k gold swivel dog clip is well working and secure.
A gorgeous and versatile antique chain for your collection!
Spring clasp can easily be removed if you like.

Customer Reviews
I bought a really unique piece (the thicker “honey comb” faucet necklace in the photo) from this site and I always get compliments when I wear it.
I hadnt bought expensive jewelry from an Insta account before and so I was a little hesitant. It arrived fast and was as high quality as described. I would deff buy another piece again from her. Shes been fast to respond when Ive had questions on other items and I enjoy following her posts - I appreciate her love of textiles and textures that match my own ❤️
All I can say is FABULOUS
It’s incredibly unique link, necklace is in immaculate condition, absolute perfection! Thank you
This was an awesome purchase - great price for a unique, heavy duty vintage piece. Love that I can wear it as a chain or on my wallet. Will be keeping my eye on this shop as Jill's sourcing is unmatched.
I can’t say enough good things about this store and the exceptional customer service AND the quality of the piece. The locket is a dream come true, and I will definitely be back!
Interior key ring
Each Wedge Bag is made with an interior key ring that is perfect to clip your keys so that you never lose them again.
Also works great with one of my leather leashes to connect a zipper pouch or anything else you like to keep at hand.
