Measuring 16 inches in length, the chain features beautifully proportioned open curb links, each measuring approximately 11.5mm in length and 7mm in width. Unlike a traditional close-fitting curb chain, the open link construction creates a wonderfully distinctive appearance, allowing light to pass between the links and highlighting the rich golden colour of the 18ct Gold. The links are substantial without appearing overly heavy, giving the chain a beautifully balanced finish that feels every bit as impressive as its weight suggests.

One of the most desirable features is that each individual link is stamped, a wonderful detail that reflects the quality and traditional construction of the piece. At the centre of the design sits an absolutely gorgeous 44mm rolling T-bar, a striking feature that really sets this chain apart. Beautifully proportioned and wonderfully substantial, the T-bar is designed to rotate within its central fitting, adding both movement and character. It is also stamped with the Makers initials EC, a mark that is repeated on the traditional swivel fastening. Although we have been unable to establish a definitive attribution for this maker, the matching marks are a particularly interesting detail and add to the chain's individuality.

The chain is completed with a traditional bolt ring fastening at the opposite end, providing a practical and versatile arrangement. It can be worn with the rolling T-bar displayed prominently at the front, creating a bold and distinctive necklace, or styled more traditionally with the fastening positioned towards the back.

There is something especially appealing about an Albert chain of this calibre. The combination of 66 grams of 18ct Gold, individually stamped links, an impressive rolling T-bar and beautiful open curb construction makes this an exceptional addition to any antique jewellery collection.
