dog clip - silver watch swivel lock clasp charm holder
A dog clip charm holder, or swivel lock fob holder, for your wax seal necklace charms sterling silver, available shiny or with an antiqued oxidized finish ... reminiscent of the Georgian and Victorian Eras when both ladies and gentlemen would clasp their fobs, watches, charms and wax seals to a swivel dog clip that was attached to a short chain attached to a waist coat, the swivel used to keep the chain from twisting so it would lie flat.
The swivel dog clip charm holder opens by pushing the pivot near the base/swivel part of the charm.
The smaller loop at the opposite end can open also, if you want it to. please refer to the last photos. I recommend using a smooth flat nose plier, so as not to mar the sterling silver, and that you open it by pulling it up only as much as necessary but do not open it by making the loop larger ... not outward or you will change the shape of the round circle and once distorted you may not get it to be round again. if you're not sure what I mean I can open it for you before shipping ... just remember to add a note when you place your order.
