Fancy antique Albert chain made in the late 1800’s
The Albert chain or fob watch chain as they are also known by, was made to hold a gents pocket watch on a vest, however a full double Albert such as this one here, is today more commonly worn around a woman’s neck were they sit perfectly and really make a statement. This one was made in the late Victorian era of the 1890's, and was made in 9 carat rose gold. The colour of modern rose gold is so often very pink whereas antique rose gold such as this has that delightful warm tone to it that is so desired and looks amazing set against any skin tone. The colour of the gold is so beautiful and highlights the design on the Albert chain so well. Measuring a full 53cm in length, this will easily sit around the neck and the link design is just so beautiful to admire from near or far. The long links have so much detail as do the smaller links, and even the tee bar at the centre has a wonderful design and texture to it, rarely seen on tee bars. From afar, the lovely bold design as well as the colour will make this always be admired, and the closer you get and see all the small detail will continue to amaze all who see it. A truly exceptional antique Albert chain to be worn with pride. Stock# U102 Circa: 1890 $4,400

Antique bloodstone seal with a secret photo locket compartment
Antique jewellery is so often so unique with such wonderful features and characteristics that are no longer seen in modern jewellery, and this is exemplified here in this amazing antique seal that hides a secret photo locket compartment in the base. Going back as far as Roman times, after a letter was sealed with wax, the writer would stamp the still warm wax with his or her seal to prevent the wrong person from opening the letter, as once broken, the wax seal could not be used again. Remaining popular all through the Georgian and Victorian periods right up to the Edwardian era when this one was made, the look of seals are always so unique to one another and look wonderful on a necklace. Made in 9 carat rose gold in 1906, the beautiful scroll work on the seal alone is so wonderful to admire as is the bloodstone set into the base of the seal. The base measures 21.6mm by 18.1mm and stands 24.7mm high and the colour of the rose gold has that wonderful warm tone to it that has achieved such a wonderful patina to it. Opening the base where the bloodstone is set reveals a secret photo locket that makes it so much more special and unique than any other locket or seal. Antiques are made all the more wonderful in thinking who owned and wore this seal and whose photo was placed secretly inside. From near or far, this will not only always be admired, but also be such a wonderful conversation starter. Stock# ES8064 Hallmarked: Birmingham 1906 $1,750
