This is one of my favourite silver curb chains I have found to date. It is the perfect size for everyday wear, and I love the sentiment of the small locket, which bears the letters AEI, standing for Amite, Eternity, Infinity, or “Love, always and forever.” The locket is empty and can be filled with pictures or a small keepsake.
The chain is a perfect mid-weight and length. I have added a small length of antique chain in the back to bring the total length to 17in.
As a stamp nerd, this one delivers. Each link bears the lion passant and the .925 marks, and the t-bar, dog clips and central ring above the locket bear the makers mark. The central ring and t-bar date the chain to 1918.
I have left a good bit of patina on here as `I love the soft tone, but the chain’s shine could certainly be brought up.
The links are in excellent condition and are ready for many more years of wear in their new home.
