A splendid 9ct yellow gold antique Edwardian Albert chain with alternating trombone and round uniform links with a sliding T-bar. Every link is stamped ‘9' '375' the single swivel clip and spring loaded jum ring and t-bar are also marked. The t-bar is affixed to a large jump ring which gives it the ability to freely slide along the chain - a nice added feature. The Albert chain can be dated to Birmingham, 1907 with the date letter 'h' to one the large jump ring (see image).
Weighing in at a pleasing 45.5g and measuring 17.25” or 440mm long the chain is a rare example with many similar chains having been scrapped for the gold. Traditionally worn as a watch chain suspending a pocket watch, Albert chains can also be worn as necklaces and used to suspend charms and pendants. This piece also acts a great investment piece which can also be worn!
