An elegant silver chain necklace from the Victorian (ca1880) era! This beautiful .800 silver piece features a pair of beautiful tassel and toggle bar pendants that hang from a lovely woven chain. The tassel hangs from a short chain extension and features a decorated cap at the top, which dangles multiple strands of braided fringe below, each ending in a small bead detail at the base. The smoothly polished toggle bar dangles from an extension chain, which is hangs shorter than the tassel pendant, adding a lovely asymmetrical appeal to the design. Two round beads rest along the beautiful woven chain necklace, each one decorated around the center with an eye-catching design. The beads can freely move along the chain, which fastens in the back at a toggle watch clasp, stamped with a "800" silver purity mark. When worn, it has a striking appearance that would make a perfect everyday accessory. A strong Victorian piece, its timeless appeal makes it a wonderful addition to any jewelry collection!
Measurements: The chain measures approximately 18.75" long. The tassel hangs approximately 2 5/8" long and is about 3/8" wide and thick. The toggle bar pendant hangs approximately 1 1/8" long and is about 1 1/4" wide.
