Victorian Vulcanite Long Guard Chain

765E
Written by Olly Gerrish

An impressive chain which can go around the neck twice or be worn long. It was made in the late Victorian period circa 1890. Vulcanite is a hard, readily cut and polished rubber, obtained by vulcanizing rubber with a large amount of sulphur. It became widely used in the later Victorian period in the manufacture of mourning jewellery. It is more brown than photographs show.
