A true borrowed-from-the-boys vibe (but make it Victorian).

These Antique T-Bar Necklaces are unique, special and…old. Kat (of Stone Cooper) combined authentic Victorian-era men’s watch chains (including the original T-Bars and working dog clips!!) with vintage brass clasps and bits of vintage chains (as needed) to create something exciting, new, and very wearable.

These chunky necklaces are being coveted by everyone on the team…and our guys. Fun fact: T. Swift was recently photographed in a similar one. :)

Kat’s genius design means that these one-of-a-kind necklaces can be worn as-is (24-ish inches), or, by using the various vintage clasps and chains (some of which basically function as an extender) the necklace can be shortened by 3”-5” (depending on the necklace).
