Long Guard/Muff Chains have been a fashion staple for over a century, and at this lovely length, they are highly sought after. Their versatility means they can be worn alone, wrapped once, twice or even thrice around the neck, in a stack with longer or shorter chains. The dog clip hanging at the bottom of the chain offers yet more possibilities; to add pendants or charms.

These types of chains in solid gold can be extremely expensive, so getting one in rolled gold is a brilliant choice. Nobody will be able to tell the difference, and you will save yourself well over three quarters of the money of a solid gold one! This is a chance to own a beautiful antique piece at at the fraction of the price!

About Rolled Gold: The bonding process for rolled gold, which has the same appearance as solid gold, means it is far more durable than gold plated (which rubs off), and as demonstrated by this chain, has already lasted well over 100 years.
