A grand antique Victorian Albert chain made up of interlocking fetter links and smaller rope links. Each is modelled in a rosy 9ct yellow gold and leads to a T-bar at the bottom complete with 9ct stamp.



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 are commonly worn as a women’s statement necklace.



It’s a solid piece with a good weight to it and is held securely by two claw clasps at the end. 

We recommend you insure for £2,100. We can provide a written Valuation on completion of the sale.
