60" Georgian Pinchbeck Watch Chain

This antique Georgian-era Pinchbeck watch chain features substantial circular links, creating a cable style chain, complete with a watch chain clasp. Pinchbeck was invented in the early 18th century by Christopher Pinchbeck, a London based clock and watchmaker. His secret alloy formula gained popularity because it so closely resembled that of real gold. Today, Pinchbeck jewelry is a much sought after collectible, particularly pieces from the materials early use in the Georgian period. Measuring an impressive 60" long (or a more manageable doubled length of 30"), you can wear this chain layered with other pieces, or alone paired with one of our antique gold fill lockets. A true staple for any jewelry collection!
