A fabulous antique English Albert chain with substantial 18k yellow gold curb links, beautiful weight and that rich gold color I love in early English jewelry. Originally designed as a gentleman’s watch chain, this piece has been worn and styled as a necklace, with its tightly connected, graduated-looking curb links creating a strong, clean line around the neck. Each individual link is hallmarked, a wonderful detail of traditional English goldsmithing.
Crafted in solid 18k yellow gold, weighing a substantial 58.3 grams and measuring 16 inches in length with approximately 6 mm wide links. Finished with a traditional Albert swivel clasp and a gold bar fitting at the back, designed to provide a secure hold while fastening. A beautiful example of antique English gold work with great weight, excellent craftsmanship and a classic design. It has links soldered in a bar at the end for easier closure, this can be removed and have a clip added.
