At 18.5 inches long, the chain features a traditional open curb link pattern with a gentle graduation from 6mm to 7.5mm. The difference in width is subtle enough to retain a beautifully even appearance, while giving the chain a little extra presence towards the centre. The links have a lovely depth and rounded finish, creating a particularly attractive appearance as they catch the light. Each individual link is stamped which is something we always appreciate when examining antique Albert chains. It is these original details that add to the appeal of a piece and distinguish it from more modern examples.
The fittings are equally impressive. A pair of traditional gold swivel fastenings sit at either end, accompanied by a substantial 43mm T-bar suspended from a short length of chain. When worn centrally, the T-bar creates a striking focal point, hanging approximately 1.5 inches below the main chain. The swivels can be worn at the front or positioned behind the neck, while the T-bar can be attached directly to a curb link rather than suspended between the fastenings. It can even be removed completely, transforming the piece into a beautifully substantial graduated curb necklace.
This ability to change its appearance is one of the reasons we find it so appealing. The traditional Albert styling is unmistakable, yet there is nothing old-fashioned about the way it can be worn today. Whether displayed with its T-bar, worn as a simple gold chain or accessorised with an antique fob or pendant, it has the proportions and character to carry each look effortlessly.
At almost 70 grams of 18ct Gold, it certainly isn't an everyday find. Chains of this weight represent a considerable amount of precious metal, but what makes this example particularly desirable is how beautifully that weight has been incorporated into the design.
This is a superb Antique Albert Chain for someone who appreciates substantial gold jewellery with genuine character. With several ways to wear it and a design that has already stood the test of time, this is a piece to enjoy now and pass on in years to come.
