Antique High Carat Snake-Skin Long Guard (19.5") (Cost Price)

Antique High Carat Snake-Skin Long Guard (19.5") (Cost Price)

WOW. What a true one of a kind. I've never seen anything quite like this before and boy does she SHOUT. A marvel of Victorian chain construction, can you imagine the time it took to hand assemble this chain, each link added piece by piece. Wild. 

This is sumptuous piece to have in your hand. Heavy. Really heavy. The slink and weight of her feel truly incredible. The colour is rich and historied; a bold and buttery yellow gold. She benefits from an oversized bolt clasp, perfect for slotting a handful of delicious charms. Also, unlike many long guards, the clasp opens the chain (rather than just dangling off it) so you can really wrap her easily and as many times as you like around your neck.

A real special, heirloom piece. 

She benefits from me having bought her a little before the price of gold went truly bonkers so she is priced really competitively.

Please note

The expectation with antique and vintage jewellery is that there will be normal signs of wear commensurate with age eg. scuffs and patina. Lovers of antique and vintage jewellery usually value these things for giving their piece history and character.

I make every effort to clearly list any defects above usual wear, and to take clear photos that represent the item clearly.

The photos constitute part of the description and we ask you view them carefully before purchasing.

Instalment Payment Info

We offer a traditional layaway system – not a buy-now-pay-later setup like Klarna. You pay a 30% deposit now, then two more payments over 60 days. Your piece is safely reserved, and we’ll post it out once all payments are complete.

At Trash Lobster, we think this is a more ethical way to offer flexibility – no credit checks, no predatory lenders, just time to pay at your own pace.

Want to pay it off early? Just give us a shout and we’ll sort it.
