Each chunky curb link has developed a desirable rosy-gold patina over time and is stamped “375\/ 9ct”, with Birmingham hallmarks above the bar, dating it to 1919.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlbert chains were traditionally a practical accessory, worn by gentlemen to secure a pocket watch to the buttonhole of a waistcoat. They have since evolved into versatile and stylish necklaces; a custom that was started by the wives of soldiers during the First World War who wore the chains as a keepsake in the hope they’d return home safely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis luxurious Edwardian era Albert chain is perfect for layering with other gold chains or worn alone as a statement piece or watch chain. The style is as popular today as it was in the 19th Century, and this is a particularly fine example, with a pleasing weight and bright rosy bloom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend you insure for £3,050.
