Fancy Victorian Gold Albert Chain, late 1800s, totally handcrafted. In excellent condition, almost as new. really, though well over 100 years old. The only sign of wear is in the blurring of a couple of 9ct stamps, although the 9 stamps on each of the long links are all very clear.
At the time of sourcing this Fancy Victorian Gold Albert in the south of England it was a mere 40cms in length, including the clasps. Considerable effort was expended in trying to find a length of Antique Gold chain to use for the greater length required, but everything was too large or too small, or not in good enough condition, or not the right shade of rosey Gold.
Eventually a couple of lengths of solid 9ct rosey Gold were handmade for it in Sydney, in a simple sturdy slightly oval link.
