RARE Antique Mariner Link 18k Gold Watch Chain Necklace with 14k Gold Clasps - 15.5 inch length

Mariner links were traditionally worn by sailors for good luck, stability and a connection to the sea. The oval link with crossbar follows the same form as industrial chains used to literally anchor ships. This is a STRONG link.

Necklace measures 15.5 inches long by 5.6mm wide. This mariner link chain is made entirely of 18k solid gold. Victorian era clasps test as 14k gold and work perfectly. Interestingly the clasps are older than the chain. Watch chain clasps were designed to be easy to replace as they would wear out with regular use. 

Links are solid and substantial. Overall weight is a very nice 22.57 grams. Excellent condition with normal age related wear.

Piece is long enough to be worn as a high necklace or doubled as a bracelet. Have fun adding connectors or extenders to play with the length, and of course use the dog clip and large spring clasp to show off your charm collection! I've included a number of inspiration photos for styling ideas.

  • 15.5 inch length
  • 4.6mm width
  • 18k solid gold links (tested)
  • Victorian era clasps test as 14k gold
  • 22.57 grams total weight
  • 11.8 mm diameter spring ring
  • Stamps present but illegible due to age and normal wear
  • Excellent condition with normal age related wear

Listing is for the watch chain necklace only.  Other items are available here.

18K Gold Citrine Pendant

I actually purchased this lovely citrine pendant not too long ago over the phone speaking directly with Jill, the owner of Penelope Penelope. This is how she and I do business nowadays. As well as this pendant, I have purchased many, many other beautiful vintage pieces from her over the past 2+ years, and plan on continuing to do so in the future as I find her pieces to be uniquely beautiful, well-made, and fairly priced. Every piece that I have gotten from Jill has been "exactly" as pictured in her photos. I appreciate how Jill provides the buyer with visual perspective...necklaces draped over fingertips, bracelets worn on wrists, pendants looped onto chains and worn with blouses or sweaters. Her videos are also very helpful when deciding on a piece as one can see how it moves when touched or when in contact with the skin. If this isn't enough, her written descriptions of the pieces will seal the deal. I appreciate that she includes the weight in grams as well as the exact measurements of each piece. On a few occasions I have asked her to take additional photos or to model a prospective piece for me, and she always obliges. Her customer service is impeccable. Items arrive UPS, some delivered behind locked gates and the more expensive items requiring a signature. I usually receive my items from Jill within 2 to 3 days, and she always includes a brief note in which she expresses her gratitude for my purchase and support. "FIVE-star Plus" is my review rating for Jill and her store Penelope Penelope.

Rounded triangle pendant

The pendant may have come earlier, but I retrieved it yesterday evening …. and I L O V E it! Here you can see it on the rounded box chain which complements the rounded triangle of the pendant. How wonderful is that! It’s like “They were meant to go together.” Because they are both 18 K gold, the color-match is perfect. Once again, Jill, we hit the bull’s eye dead center. What more can I say but, once again, “Thank you.” You’re absolutely the best.

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.
