Sold

This hefty Victorian 18ct Gold Cased Fancy Albert Chain is a must-have for anyone looking for a reliable antique chunky chain for their collection. A gorgeous hue, this blushed 18ct Gold cased chain boasts rare matching dog-clips, we think this antique Gold chain is an absolute steal for her price!

Albert chains are named after a style of watch chain Prince Albert wore during the Victorian period. Traditionally an Albert chain has a "T-bar"on one end used to affix the chain to a vest button-hole and the opposite end of the chain is fitted with a swivel hook to attach watch or a fob. In the present day,  Albert chains are often repurposed  necklaces, as you see here. 

A timeless investment piece to be cherished for a lifetime!
