A classic, a true hero of the antique jewellery world.
This Albert chain is a beauty. Double dog clips? Check. Marked on each link? Check. Beautiful yellow gold solid links? Check. And the rest. If you're going to splash your hard earned cash on a chain, make it a good one.
There is a 34mm length of smaller curb link attached to the same ring the t-bar is on, I doubt this has always been there, but it’s perfect for attaching a pendant/fob/charm to.
This is a beautiful chain, a perfect example of an Albert, and a piece that can be handed down for generations DESPITE it already being about 120 years old.
A really great length, it's so easy to find these pieces under 16" but find them at 16" or longer takes a bit more effort.
A beautiful example.

All of my pieces are at the very least pre-loved and most of them are vintage or antique. This item is not brand new and as such, will not look brand new. Please expect signs of wear to include kinks in links, surface wear to gold, scuffs to stones and accept this as part and parcel of buying second hand jewellery. I will be as clear as I can with item descriptions and condition statements and aim to make sure you are aware of any potential defects before you buy. Please study the photos carefully as they form part of the condition statement.
