A substantial antique Albert watch chain crafted in 9ct rose gold and dating to the early 1900s.
The necklace features broad curb links measuring approximately 10mm wide, creating a bold and highly collectable antique profile. Each individual link is marked “9C”, while the original dog clip and T-bar are also marked for 9ct gold.
The links are hollow rather than solid, allowing the chain to achieve its impressive scale and presence without the considerably greater weight associated with a fully solid example. Even so, at 27.3 grams, this remains a substantial and beautifully constructed period piece.
Measuring approximately 355mm in total length, the chain retains its original Albert fittings and has not been reproduced in a modern style. It may be worn as an antique watch chain, styled as a short necklace or incorporated into a layered jewellery look.
Professionally XRF tested as 9ct rose gold.
