Handmade Solid Silver Long Link. This is an English Victorian chain design of the late 1800s, originally made as a fob-watch chain with bar, securely connecting a gentleman’s precious and costly watch, sitting in the fob pocket of the vest, with a button hole of the vest. It became known as the “Albert” through the consort of Victoria, Prince Albert, popularizing its use.
Any  type of Albert chain not made in the basic curb link is called “fancy”, and while the design of the above chain is quite simple, it is still, in the trade, a “fancy” chain.
The above chain is new-made, totally handcrafted, and very sturdy.
