This vintage elongated oval gold metal link chain belt is a great find for anyone who wants to make a fashion statement with a blast-from-the-past belt. It can also be used as body jewelry. It is in great condition for a vintage item. I have attached numerous pictures that will give you an idea of the condition. The oval links are in fantastic condition. If you are into deconstructing vintage pieces more than you are wearing them as is, you can easily use these links to make jewelry such as necklaces, earrings, and bracelets. From the clasp to the first link on the extension, it is 35 inches long. The 7.5-inch extension gives it a total length of 42.5 inches.If you have questions, please don't hesitate to send them my way.
