Antique Georgian 9K Yellow Gold Split Ring Chain Connector

Split rings were used in Georgian and Victorian times for securely suspending pendants and fobs as well as pocket watches. They have a very precise, fine mechanism for opening the split in the ring to allow the pendant bale go through, which then closes securely - similar in principle to a modern key chain.

This English Georgian sweetie is 9 karat mellow, yellow gold, not hallmarked, hence tested. The mellow tone of the gold goes well with rose gold chains or pendants as well as yellow gold ones, as it blends with different tones of gold very well. The small size split rings like this one are super useful for pendants with a bale too small to go through the clasps of your chains. The delicate floral engraving, typical of the 1820's Regency style of decorations is another attribute to its versatility.

The outer diameter measurement of the ring is 15.2 mm and his thickness is 1.8 mm, with the weight of 1.0 grams. In lovely antique condition.

We love .... this beautiful and versatile little antique helper for your beautiful pendants and charms.
