About the Item
This antique guard chain is likely the nicest example we have had in our collection to date. Crafted from 18 karat gold the chain which has French gold marks would have likely been crafted in the second half of the 19th century. The fancy-link chain is of an exceedingly good length of 168 centimetres allowing it to be wrapped around the neck two or three times with ease, and of course can have pendants and enhancers attached if desired. There is one large bolt ring clasp which is working well, is secure, and allows the necklace to be worn at a set length when worn twice around the neck. The necklace features the French eagle gold purity mark indicating it is 18 karat yellow gold and manufactured in France. In exceedingly good order this necklace is an absolute essential for anyone who likes to layer gold necklaces and likes to have their money close by, in this case, around their neck!

Mario Buccellati Two Tone 18 Karat Gold Bracelet
By Mario Buccellati
Located in Brisbane City, QLD
We are very excited to present this wonderful handcrafted bracelet by Mario Buccellati. The two tone bracelet consists of woven gold ovals of alternating 18 karat yellow and 18 karat white gold that has been woven or braided. The interlocked links have then been very finely brushed to give a softer matte finish which could be described as a Florentine finish. The bracelet features a tongue and box clasp and two figure of eight safety catches which are all incorporated into an integrated link clasp. The clasp and safety catches are working well and are secure, ensuring the piece stays on tightly with three points of attachment. Whilst this bracelet is on the smaller side in terms of its circumference it certainly makes up for that in its quality craftsmanship by arguably Italy's most highly regarded goldsmith, Mario Buccellati. Whilst it is hard to give a precise date for its manufacture it is likely to date to the late 20th Century. An exceptional piece of Italian gold jewellery...
