A divine snake link chain in 15ct Gold!  What an exciting find. The chain is tabbed 15c and has been tested as such. The bolt ring is tested as 14ct and the dog clip is hallmarked for 15ct Gold, as is the T-bar which is fixed in its position on the chain. Both fixings function well. The t-bar and dog clip have different makers marks. The three links joining the two ends of chain together above the t-bar test as 9ct Gold.
 
The snake link chain is round, fluid and slinky, there is one small rejoin, where I had a section of badly soldered fused links removed from the chain. The repair has been carried out well and is hard to spot unless you are looking for it, it sits at the side of the neck when worn. Otherwise the condition is very good with just. minor wear appropriate to age.
