Coins, Gold & Silver Bullion Auction
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.
Condition report:
The necklace is in good condition. There are fine surface scratches and minor scuffs to the flat link faces consistent with light wear. Some light tarnishing is present within the crevices of the links and around the clasp. The lobster claw clasp mechanism is in good working order with correct spring tension.
