Antique 15ct Yellow Gold Bolt Ring and Dog Clip Albert Watch Chain Necklace 16"

1900 - 1920
Description

We were amazed when we found this super rare graduated antique 15ct Gold Albert chain, which weighs an impressive 37.2g. It is simply spectacular. Its warm hue of saturated, buttery gold radiates a luxurious glow, making it not just an accessory but a statement of style and refinement.

This antique gold chain features a classic removable T-bar that was once used to hold a pocket watch through a buttonhole. It includes an antique gold dog clip and bolt ring, making it a rare find to have all three on one chain! These beautiful fastenings can also double up as charm holders, allowing you to add a personal touch!

This rare and quality find would make a superb investment for the future.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Named after Prince Albert, consort to Queen Victoria, the Albert chain was originally designed in the mid-nineteenth century to secure a pocket watch to a gentlemans waistcoat buttonhole via a central T-bar.

Albert chains were commonly crafted from solid gold standards such as 9ct, 15ct, and 18ct yellow gold, as well as sterling silver and gold-filled alloys.

Authentic pieces frequently feature individual carat hallmarks or makers marks stamped onto every curb link, as well as on the T-bar, dog clip, and bolt ring fasteners.

In modern styling, Albert chains are worn as statement necklaces, either independently or layered with other chains, with charms attached directly to the T-bar or dog clip.

Clean gold chains using a mild soap solution in warm water with a soft microfibre cloth, ensuring internal spring mechanisms in dog clips and bolt rings remain dry.
