Nina Antique Turquoise Seed Pearl Slide Lorgnette Chain

It's no secret we love antique lorgnette chains - or slide-guards! They were worn by women in the late 1800s to early 1900s and feature a sliding mechanism with a swivel dog clip clasp- usually to attach a pocketwatch, fob or other pendant. We shortened this one, giving it a modern twist and making it easy to wear. Slide and chain are in great condition, and the slide features 4 natural turquoise stones and seed pearls. 

Detailed Description:

  • Material: Gold Filled 
  • Design: Antique Victorian / Edwardian gold-filled rectangle link chain with a movable slide featuring turquoise and seed pearls, and gold filled swivel clasp below. We attached a tiny gold filled lobster claw clasp to the back. 
  • Gemstones:  Turquoise, Seed Pearls
  • Dimensions: 18-20"
  • Craftsmanship: Antique circa late 1800s/ early 1900s, great condition. Dog Clasp marked HFS & Co. 

Perfect For:

  • Wearing as is - or attaching your own charm to the clasp
  • A timeless, yet modern piece you'll treasure forever

Why You'll Love It:

  • The warmth of the gold, and uniqueness of this piece make this truly an heirloom you'll treasure forever. Bonus - add your own meaningful touch with a charm or locket. 

 

*note - the slide on the model is not this exact one, but it looks very similar to the shorter one she's wearing.
