    I purchased this from someone claiming it was "antique" not sure how old this piece could be but I'm so curious! Any idea? 342216E0-5885-4F11-A329-162F4F150289.jpeg The chain is marked 1-10 -14kt Gold Filled 117CD78D-87FA-40C2-926E-0D5F56856A8E.jpeg A9E083DB-97FD-42BC-AE10-6C4738F9FC7D.jpeg

    It looks to me - at first glance - that the piece might be older but that the chain might be a replacement. The chain looks newer to me than the other part. Could you measure the piece, and take a photo of the closure? Thanks!

    Thank you for the additional photos. I still think the chain is an addition or replacement. I think the original part of the necklace is
    C.1920's. Let's see what others think.

    I agree with Linn... c. 1920's married to a newer chain.
