Matinee Length Fancy Fetter Watch or Guard Chain in Yellow Gold with Swivel Clip
About the Item
This is an old watch chain that long ago got separated from its watch. We added a dog (aka swivel) clip and now it's just as moderne and versatile as can be at 21" long and 3.5mm wide.
This link style - a twisted oval girding a decorative ridged barrel -- was popular in the early 1900s, but it's impossible to nail down a date because we don't have a maker's mark. The end loop is stamped -- you can just make out the "14K" -- but the maker's mark is worn down.
The swivel clip is similarly (and frustratingly) unmarked, but it's from our scary "Pocket Watch Drawer," so it's probably of the same early 1900s vintage.
The current length is 21." Note that the chain's length is not adjustable because there isn't enough space in the links to fit the tooth of the swivel clip. If you would prefer a shorter (permanent) length, just let us know and we'll shorten the chain at no charge.
The total weight of this 14 karat gold chain is 19.4 grams.

View AllPrincess Length Curb Chain with Toggle Closure & Tassel Ornament in Yellow Gold
By Eytan Brandes
Located in Sherman Oaks, CA
Four different components came together to make this sexy new 14 karat yellow gold chain.
The curb chain itself is standard jeweler's inventory that's been kicking around the store for a few years. Eytan Brandes removed the lobster clasp and added the toggle, which is newly cast from an antique silver toggle.
For the end ring, he pried one of the rings off of a boring brooch -- one of those pins where a cluster of rings makes a kind of wreath.
The ring looks great -- it's thick and has squared edges -- but it's hollow and too lightweight to stand up to the solid toggle. (Strangulation alert!)
Rather than lose the ring, Eytan decided to add some weight. The tassel -- from his mysterious pile of 1950's gold tassels acquired several years ago -- is his happy solution. It moves freely from a large matching bale and is the perfect finishing touch!
Measurements:
Chain length (including the end ring): 19"
Tassel length (including bale): 2"
Chain thickness: 1.4mm
Chain width: 3mm
Marks: The original chain plate has been left in place (you can see in the photos that it's like a little added link...

"Caviar Time" Pendant in Yellow Gold w Mechanical Watch Movement & Spinel Chain
By Eytan Brandes
Located in Sherman Oaks, CA
Mechanical watch movements are amazing. Every jeweler has a zillion of them, since the cases are frequently melted for their metal value. Eytan Brandes has always appreciated these tiny marvels and has made a few of them into pendants, but he likes them to be a bit stealthy -- not scream, "HEY! I'm watch guts!"
His latest pendant, in 14 karat yellow gold, is a perfect example -- with the border of raised dots -- Eytan's "caviar" pattern -- blends interestingly into the busy landscape of a mechanical watch movement, with its red jewels and steel wheels. This particular movement isn't very old -- it was probably made in the 1990s or thereabouts by Gotham Watch...
