A superb example of an original Antique Chain design, this striking Faceted Belcher Link Necklace combines bold presence with beautifully engineered hardware.
This Albert chain features substantial 10mm links that create a chunky, confident look while remaining surprisingly comfortable to wear. It looks heavier than it is, a hallmark of well-made Antique Jewellery.
The chain is enriched with three Antique Swivels, each stamped, adding both visual interest and practical versatility. These original components allow the necklace to be worn at multiple lengths: the full 17 inches, or adjusted to 16 inches or 15 inches by removing one or two swivels. Collectors especially value this kind of thoughtful Antique construction, where form and function work beautifully together.
The 40mm chunky T-bar is also stamped and is particularly appealing in its design, it is securely fitted so that the swivels remain visible at either side when worn. This detail is a joy for collectors, as it showcases the hardware rather than hiding it, celebrating the craftsmanship and originality of the piece.
The faceted belcher links deserve a special mention, alternating forms and subtle textural variation give the chain depth, movement, and character. It’s the kind of design that rewards a closer look confident, tactile, and unmistakably Antique.
This Albert weighs an impressive 38 grams and feels luxurious on the neck. This is a highly collectible piece where original hardware takes centre stage. Perfect worn alone or paired with a pendant or charm for a personalised Antique look.
