An antique longuard or muff chain provides much versatility in a chain! Found in all types of links and metals, during the Victorian era they held practical objects such as fobs, keys, scissors, lockets, watches or eyeglasses. Long guards are usually between 40 and 60 inches, to be doubled, tripled, or long and tucked into a pocket or waistband. The modern jewelry connoisseur can hang charms and pendants, or wear it plain in all its elegance.
