Details
Modelled in solid 9ct gold, this classic antique Edwardian curb link Albert chain is complete with its original claw clasps and T-bar. Over time, the gold has developed a charming rosy-gold patina, and each component bears a “375/9ct” stamp, confirming its quality. It’s complete with hallmarks and the maker’s mark, indicating it was made in Birmingham by “I.S. Greenberg & Co” in 1906.
Albert chains were both a fashionable and practical accessory for a gentleman in the early 20th Century, often adorned with a pocket watch or fob and secured to the buttonhole of a waistcoat for quick access. Today they’re also worn as versatile and stylish necklaces; a custom started by the wives of soldiers during WW1 who wore the chains as a keepsake.
This exquisite Edwardian Albert chain is a timeless design and has a pleasing weight and silky feel. It can be worn as a traditional Albert or as a chic necklace, perfect for layering with other gold chains.
