This Edwardian Albert chain necklace dates to 1918 and originates from Birmingham. Made from solid 9ct rose gold, the piece exhibits a yellow gold colour with a polished finish and displays distinct hallmarks on the dog clips, individual links, and T-bar drop. The design comprises alternating elongated trombone links and twisted love knot links, leading to a central suspended T-bar held by small connecting jump rings, with double-dog clip fastenings. The necklace measures 40 cm in length, with individual chain links measuring 6 mm, dog clips measuring 2 cm by 1 cm, and the T-bar measuring 4 cm. Suitable for wear as an everyday jewellery item or for formal occasions, it sits comfortably around the neck and functions as a standalone statement piece or as a traditional pocket watch chain when paired with historical waistcoats.

FAQs

Originally created in the 19th century to secure a pocket watch to a gentlemans waistcoat, Albert chains were named after Prince Albert and were later repurposed into necklaces.

Antique Albert chains were forged from solid 9ct, 15ct, or 18ct yellow gold, featuring distinct hand-formed links such as elongated trombone links and twisted knots joined by jump rings.

Authentic period pieces usually feature British assay hallmarks stamped on individual links, the T-bar, or the dog clip clasps, indicating gold purity and manufacture year.

When not worn as fine jewellery, antique gold chains are frequently displayed on velvet jewellery stands, within glass cloches, or framed inside shadow boxes as decorative wall accent pieces.

Clean gently using warm water, mild liquid soap, and a soft cloth, avoiding abrasive polishes or chemical cleansers, and store separately in a fabric-lined box to prevent scratching.
