Details: We are all in love with this exceptional twisted link Albert chain fabricated of 15k yellow and rose gold. The chain features two dog clips and a central t-bar. It is heavy in weight and would add gorgeous texture and heft when worn with other chains or necklaces. A watch chain this lovely and weighty is a rare find. 

This type of watch chain was popularized by Prince Albert, the husband of Queen Victoria. The t-bar is placed through the buttonhole of the wearer's buttoned waistcoat and anchors the watch chain in place. The wearers watch was attached to one end and tucked into a small pocket. The other end of the chain was hung with important pendants such as the family seal and other significant or decorative charms to balnce the watch. 

Measurements: The total weight is 49.7g. Each elongated link and one dog clip is hallmarked for 15ct and a maker's mark. 

Origin: English. C. 1890's.
