A really beautiful antique Albert chain that I would be more than happy to keep in my own collection.
Highly saught after chunky fetter links, proportionally perfect and each stamped for 9 carat gold. The dream combination of fasteners with a dog clip and bolt clasp but ALSO with a detachacble 4.5cm tbar and bolt clasp extender, which in addition can be used simply to hang from the chain. You've got some really good styling combinations here.
Questions and answers:
Is the chain bright yellow gold? No. Rarely are 9ct antique watch chains bright yellow; this piece is warm yellow gold with rose undertones. Please be mindful of this before you hit buy.
Is the chain heavy? Yes. The total weight is 42.3 grams so you will definitly feel its presence on your neck. It's super comfortable in wear and can be worn all day, every day.
How long is it? On it's own the length of the chain is 15.5" and suits a small neck. For reference, my neck measures 12.5" and it fits me perfectly with plently of room. You have the option to lengthen the piece to 17.25" with the extender, please study the photos to see how this looks.
All in all, an excellent choice for an heirloom chain which you'll take delight in wearing for many years to come!

All of my pieces are at the very least pre-owned 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 statements and aim to make sure you are aware of any potential defects before you buy. Please study the photos carefully as they form part of the condition statement.
