Lot 96: Heavy Sterling Silver Curb Link Necklace

A heavy sterling silver neck chain of classic curb link design. The piece features uniform, flat-faced interlocking links and is finished with a large lobster claw clasp secured by two tapered end caps. Both end caps are stamped with ‘925’ marks, confirming the metal purity as sterling silver. The necklace weighs a substantial 98.30 grams, placing it in a heavy weight class for silver jewellery. At current spot prices, the intrinsic metal value provides a solid floor for the valuation, while the ready-to-wear condition and classic style command a collector premium. Valuation basis: current sterling silver spot price of approximately 0.81 per gram (melt floor circa 80) and recent auction performance for heavy-gauge silver chains.
