Lot 574: A 9 Carat Gold Figaro Link Chain Weight: 1.35g.

Live auction will start in __ days and __ hours

Start price: £2

Buyer's Premium:

A yellow metal chain of figaro link construction, comprising a repeating sequence of three circular links followed by a single elongated oval link. The piece is fitted with a spring ring clasp. A small white adhesive label accompanying the item is handwritten with the text 9K. While the handwritten note suggests the metal purity, the metal itself lacks a clearly legible hallmark to confirm the gold standard. Consequently, the piece is offered as a 9 carat gold chain based on the available supporting evidence, though it is recommended for testing to confirm the exact metal composition.

Weight: 1.35g.


Condition report:

The chain is in used condition with visible surface wear and light scratching across the links (photo 1). There is significant tangling towards one end of the chain near the clasp (photo 1). The spring ring clasp shows minor wear but appears functional, although the pull-tab shows a slight misalignment (photo 1). The metal shows some dulling consistent with age and use.
