This is a beautifully detailed antique watch chain measuring approximately 17 1/2 inches long by 3/4 inch wide, crafted with embossed starburst links and alternating ruby red and sapphire blue glass cabochons. The ornate design and robust construction suggest it was originally used as a chatelaine or watch fob chain, likely dating from the early 20th century.
The links are joined with ribbed metal connectors, and it features a spring-loaded hook clasp, typical of functional chains from the period. The brass-tone metal shows a lovely aged patina throughout, and the stones have minor imperfections visible under magnification, common for vintage glass.
While originally utilitarian, this chain would make a striking repurposed necklace, bracelet, belt accent, or steampunk accessory.
Condition: Good antique condition. Secure clasp, no missing stones. Normal wear consistent with age. Some stones have imperfections visible with magnification. Please examine photos closely for details.
