Simple and elegant antique 9 carat gold hook. A very useful jewellery item indeed! This hook probably fastened an Albertina or was used on a watch chain back when it was made. Today it's a handy piece to use to display and hang pendants and charms. Alternatively, use it as a necklace chain end which has the benefit of extending a neck chain just a bit. Circa mid to late 19th century.
In very good condition. The bail doesn't swivel.
Not marked, professionally tested and assessed as 9 carat gold which is rose in colour.
Measures approx 29.5 mm / 1.15 inches tall by 11.8 mm / 0.45 inches wide at widest point. Wire forming the hook is 1.15 mm round wire.
Weighs 1.1 grams.
