Originally designed as a watch chain, it is complete with the classic T-bar at the bottom and one remaining claw clasp, suggesting it was later converted to be worn as a necklace\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAlbert chains were both a stylish and functional accessory for gentlemen in the 19th century, typically holding a pocket watch or fob and fastened to a waistcoat buttonhole for easy access. Today, they have evolved into versatile and fashionable necklaces, a tradition that began during World War I, when soldiers’ wives wore them as sentimental keepsakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis luxurious 9ct gold Albert chain is a timeless piece of Victorian heritage. The style is as popular today as it was back then, and this is a particularly fine example, with a solid weight, ample length and bright yellow bloom. It’s complete with separate maker’s marks on the clasp and bar, belonging to Henry Allday \u0026amp; Sons and Fattorini \u0026amp; Sons Ltd, indicating one component has been added overtime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003eWe recommend you insure for £4,500.
