One of my favourite link combinations which I love even more when they form a short, chunky, double albert chain with dog clips and a tbar meaning VERSATILITY.
Wear this beauty with the tbar to the front or the back depending on the kind of look you're going for. I'll be honest with you and tell you that 99.9% of the time, when I buy an Albert with a spinner fob, I remove it and scrap the gold. You'll see on the photos here though, that I've kept this one in situ and this is because it's gorgeous; I'm a contrary Mary, I know. This Bloodstone/Carnelian spinner is small, chubby, in great condition and is stamped for 1888. I love the long drop from the short chunky chain and it's just gorgeously compact.
The chain is suitable for a small neck only and is ideally worn as your shortest layer, although imo it needs no companions and is perfect worn alone.
The colour of the gold is on the rosy side, idicitive of the era in which it was made. Delicious!

All of my pieces are at the very least pre-loved and most of them are vintage or antique. This item is not brand new and as such, will not look brand new. Please expect signs of wear to include kinks in links, surface wear to gold, scuffs to stones and accept this as part and parcel of buying second hand jewellery. I will be as clear as I can with item descriptions and condition statement and aim to make sure you are aware of any potential defects before you buy.
