Condition: overall in excellent antique condition, with no damaged or missing elements. Each of the beveled circular links have four notches, which are probably original to production, intended to lock the square scalloped links in place. Due to age and wear, some of the beveling to the circular links are somewhat worn down. The dog-clip closure leans somewhat to one side (it however closes and shuts just fine). There is general age-related surface wear to the gold.
