Victorian chains featuring unique links with pierced motifs have been coined as "Fancy Chains," and we can surely see why! Often hailing from France, these chains are a prime example of doting craftsmanship! Expressive and often reminiscent of lace, these chains hide popular motifs. An expressive alternative to the contemporary chains we see today!
