The chain alone weighs an impressive 77.1 grams, crafted in rich solid 18ct Yellow Gold with beautifully proportioned 7.5mm Fetter links that give it a bold yet fluid drape. Pieces of this scale and quality are becoming increasingly scarce, particularly when found in such complete and original condition.
At the centre sits a traditional T-Bar that has been stamped with the Makers Mark HH. This T-Bar has a rolling fitting, allowing it to sit naturally and move with ease. The chain is finished with a classic bolt ring clasp to one end and an original antique swivel to the other making it perfect for securing attachments.
Included is a substantial antique rotating fob pendant, weighing 19.4 grams, bringing the total weight of the piece to an extraordinary 96.5 grams. The fob features a richly coloured, reversible stone which is a deep green bloodstone to one side and warm-toned carnelian to the other. These gemstones have been set within a solid gold mount and the fob is fitted with its own swivel for practical and decorative use.
Additional connecting links provide versatility, allowing for further attachments or extension using antique dog clips or swivels. It measures 15.5 inches in length and can be worn perfectly across a waistcoat, can be styled more contemporarily as a striking short necklace or doubled up as a bracelet.
Complete Albert chains of this weight, quality, and configuration that are in solid 18ct Gold with an original fob are exceptionally hard to find. This is a true statement piece. It’s powerful, versatile, and undeniably rare.
