Victorian Silver Serpent Link Guard Chain mizpah A gorgeous modern Cartier LoveDATE: Victorian, c. 1890 A superb antique silver guard chain dating from the latter half of the 19th century. It features alternating hoop links and finely textured fancy links that, whether intentionally or not, remind me of little coiled snakes.
