An exquisite Antique late Victorian Albert chain made up of long, paper clip links connected by knots of rope. Each link is crafted in a rosy 9ct Gold and leads to a T-bar at the bottom complete with hallmarks and the maker’s initials.

Albert chains were named after Prince Albert and were used by wealthy Victorian gentlemen to secure a pocket watch by attaching it via the T-bar to the buttonhole of a waistcoat. Today though, they have taken on a new function and commonly worn as a women’s statement necklace.    

It’s a wonderful piece with a good weight to it and is held securely by two trigger clasps.
