These antique gold hoooks have become highly sought after over the last few years. Originally it would likely have once been part of an antique watch chain but today they are often being used as chain extenders, interesting pendants, or even as charm holders. Such a versatile piece of jewellery!
The hook is made of 9ct gold, unhallmarked but tested, and the gold has a lovely warm, soft rose tone to it. Without hallmarks, it's hard to date exactly but we think it's likely late victorian in age.
The hook measures approx 31.2mm tall by 11.7mm wide by approx 5mm deep and weighs approx 1.25g. the wire of the hook is approx 1.1mm wide
Condition - The hook is in good antique condition with some surface wear to the gold throughout. The ring at the top is pushed closed at one side, we think this is likely how it was made. The wire of the hook is slightly bendable so can be pulled further open slightly if required. Please see photos.
*Please note the antique box, charms and chain pictured with the gold hook are not included in the sale but the hook will be shipped in a new presentation box and pouch. The wishbone charm and heart charm are available separately in our online shop.*
