Shipping calculated at checkout.

A superb chunky Georgian Pinchbeck belcher chain, with a supercool jewelled hand clasp.

The chain has the holy grail of links! The star links!!!

Each chunky belcher links has a raised star pattern on a granulated surface!

The chain closes with a fantastic hand clasp, which has a turquoise encrusted cuff, and wears a red paste stone ring.

At just under 47” long, it can be worn either one or two times around the neck, for different looks.

You may even squeeze 3 times round for the narrower neck!

The links are a large scale, so the chain makes a fantastic impact when worn!

Pinchbeck is a brass alloy. That looks very similar to gold, and doesn’t tarnish like other metal alloys.

It was invented in the early 18th century by Christopher Pinchbeck, a London clock- and watch-maker.

It is collectible in its own right!

I’m so excited to find a star link chain!! It’s a stunner!

Bracelets & Bangles:

How your bracelet fits is a personal preference.
To check your preferred size, wrap a tape measure loosely around your wrist to the tightness you would like your bracelet to fit.
From the end of the tape measure to the point where it crosses the tape is your desired bracelet length.
Please compare this to the measurements specified on each of our bracelet product pages.
Note, some bracelets are adjustable – this will be mentioned in the description.
Note, if a bangle does not have an opening, you must select one that will pass over your fist.
 
 

Necklaces

All The Old Cut chains and necklaces have the total length detailed in the description.
The measurement will be in cm and inches.
We recommend you place a tape around your neck to see where the chain will sit.
Below is a basic guide to show some popular lengths – note, everyone’s neck is different, so this is just a basic guide.

Antique Jewellery should be taken care of during wear.
