Antique AUSTIN & STONE Pocket Watch Chain/Necklace - Slide Clear Stone-GF

Description

Selling items for my mother, her cherished collectibles, as well as from Vintage Estate Jewelry and Collectible items from other estates we have inherited and acquired over the past few years.
Some estate items are newer, within the last 4-10 years, but purchased and barely worn and just stored with estate collection.
Please do not expect store bought perfect new items! Our items are sold 'AS IS' or Vintage, meaning used condition, will show some signs of age, use, and wear expected with a pre-owned, used item.
We will never guarantee our items to be in perfect condition, but then you would be paying department store prices!
If items are clearly marked, we do not have it acid tested, especially if markings include designer’s markings.
Unmarked items we have tested.
If natural hairline internal cracks in stones, loose settings (that normally happen over the years) bother you, or expect perfect, then you do not want Vintage.
Even jewelry that is brand new tends to have flaws.
This is all Antique Art Deco/Nouveau, Victorian, Vintage and newer Collectible jewelry, all newer items have been stored and are still part of the humongous estate collection and may have been worn, but minimally.
Silver jewelry with stones sometimes loosen over the years, and stones shift and accumulate hairline cracks. This is part of the charm of vintage jewelry.
Anything distracting we will note in our listings, anything damaged we do not list.
Of course we may miss some flaws even after examining and we do apologize, but we have also issued refunds for those (which have been few).
We have researched all items, but are not experts, and have some great local resources, but please ask questions or share your knowledge too!
We do not list anything that we would not wear ourselves!
THIS AUCTION
:
Very long watch chain, can also be worn as a necklace, using the watch clip on one end to hang a pendant, fob or watch.
There is a round slide charm with a clear stone or crystal set in an engraved star design, back is plain, measures approx. 8mm round diameter and 4-5mm thick, watch clip is marked Austin & Stone I/10, which is part of the mark for gold filled.
The chain of course is doubled and measures approx. 24 ¾ inches from the top of the clip to the end of the chain, weighs 5.8g.
Clip and slide are a little more yellow gold filled and chain has a little more of a pink gold cast, a great contrast!
It is in very nice condition, especially considering its age, could use a mild gentle cleaning and polishing if you choose, but it is charming just as it is.
Slide will move easily, but does not fall on its own, remains in place unless moved by hand.
Would make a fabulous heirloom!
Take a look at pictures!
