In the Decontructed Series, classic Victorian and Edwardian long chains are reconfigured for modern versatility. Here, a Victorian long guard chain, in a double ridged belcher link, has been given new life as 3 layerable, wearable chains. Wear one, two, or all three chains for the ultimate in multitasking.

Two of the lengths are finished on each end with open loops; the third has one loop and retains an antique swivel dog clip. Experiment with configurations with the addition of the Luck and Lockets Lucky 8 Clasps and Charmholders. Suspend charms or pendants as desired, but each chain has character and presence to stand on its own. Crafted in yellow gold with the slightest kiss of rose, characteristic of antique chains, these are offered individually or together.

For each Deconstructed Series, the loops are handmade in NYC to our custom specifications.

Lucky 8 Clasps and Charmholders, pendants, and other chains shown are not included. The Deconstructed Series (V) Chains 1 and 2 are the top 2 chains in the first photo.

Unmarked, except for the swivel dog clip, which is marked “14".”
