Its design features elegant knot links with unusual square edges, paired with two faceted dog clip clasps and a removable t-bar pendant that can also be utilised as a short extender, offering both aesthetic appeal and practical versatility.
Measuring 23 inches in length, the chain includes an additional section with the t-bar, allowing it to serve as an extender.

In very good condition, the chain has been exceptionally well-maintained. The dog clips are slightly soft in operation but remain secure and reliable. The knot links are in impeccable condition, showing no signs of noticeable wear, which is rare for a piece of this age.
