Description

This fantastic slightly rosy Victorian chain looks for all the world like solid nine-carat gold. It tested positive for nine-carat gold with both acid and x-ray machines but is actually just so thickly cased in gold (likely rolled gold) it fooled both tests!

The chain has a small drop section in the middle, perfect for attaching a pendant, T-bar or locket.

The clip is stamped SB.

In excellent antique condition.

Length: Approximately 14 inches - this is a short "choker" length which won't fit everyone so be sure to check your measurements! The chain could easily be extended with another clip or the addition of extra links or a split ring at the end.

Width: Approximately 1cm.

Weight: A chunky 54.2g.

FREE INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING!

FAQs

An Albert chain is a traditional watch chain worn by men and women during the Victorian era, typically attached to a pocket watch secured in a waistcoat or pocket. They are named after Prince Albert, consort to Queen Victoria, who popularised the style.

Rolled gold, also known as gold-filled, involves fusing a layer of karat gold to a base metal core, such as brass or copper, using heat and pressure. This differs from gold plating by offering a significantly thicker layer of gold, providing greater durability against wear.

Authentication involves examining construction techniques such as hand-soldered links, traditional findings like swivel dog clips, and historical hallmarks or maker marks. Patina, wear patterns, and the specific composition of the base metals also assist in dating the piece accurately.

An antique Albert chain can be worn as a statement necklace or bracelet by utilizing the original dog clip fastener. In an interior setting, smaller pieces of historical jewellery are frequently displayed within glass-topped shadow boxes or on decorative trays.

Rolled gold items should be cleaned gently using a soft microfibre cloth and warm soapy water, avoiding harsh chemical dips or abrasive polishing compounds that can wear away the thin gold layer. Store pieces individually in soft pouches to prevent scratching from other items.
