SOLD Antique 9K Faceted Rolo Link Watch Chain

The main use of the watch chain was to simply ensure the security of the pocket watch. The pocket watch emerged in the 17th Century and the style grew in popularity when Charles II popularized the waistcoat in 1675. By the Victorian Era, most men sported these decorative yet practical contraptions. The fob helped to add a counterweight so the chain wouldn't be pulled by the heavier watch, while the bar served to secure the chain through the gentleman's buttonhole. Crafted in 9 carat yellow gold, this dapper watch chain has chunky faceted rolo links and a T Bar. Perfect to wear as a choker or doubled as a bracelet, you'll find yourself reaching for it every day!
