[QUOTE="stracci, post: 2198638, member: 13814"]I found this necklace at a thrift store for a few dollars. I had a hunch it was antique. The jump rings are soldered, which was a good sign to me. It doesn't test gold, silver or platinum. Later, I saw some cut steel chatelaines in a local antique store and the links were so similar. It is 16" long with an old style brass spring ring clasp attached. Some of the chatelaines I saw had chains about this long. Does anyone think it may have been part of a chatelaine in a former life?

The links are so similar to my necklace. [IMG]https://i9.skinnerinc.com/unsafe/195/982195.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
