Inspired by the timeless look of Victorian pocket watch chains, our completely handmade 7.6mm wide Trombone Chain is crafted entirely in our studio from start to finish. We use solid 1.63mm wire-- never hollow-- to create individual oval links.
We chose a swiveling clasp for its association with pocket watch chains. This clasp is sometimes called a dog clip or Albert clasp. We love that it allows the chain to untwist while clipped; plus, it serves as a built-in charm holder. The wearer will find that the necklace is equally attractive no matter where the clasp is-- no need to hide it at the back of the neck.
Each chain is finished with a small pebble charm, stamped with our maker’s mark and metal purity. The solid gold version is distinguished by the additional ornament of a 2mm natural diamond; the other two metal options both feature a sterling silver pebble.
The weight of this chain is right in between our Long & Short chain and our Roma Link chain. (Goldilocks!)
