Antique 15 carat fancy Albert chain by Larard Bros
Larard Brothers was originally established as Larard and Sons in 1874 and quickly became well known as one of the finest jewellers in Australia that now makes pieces by them highly sought after, and here we not only have an antique full length Albert chain by them, but one that is also in 15 carat gold.
Originally made for a man to connect his pocket watch to, now double length Albert chains such as these are more commonly worn around the neck where they make a wonderful statement.
More commonly found in 9 carat gold, finding one that is not only in 15 carat gold, but also still in excellent condition over 120 years later is even more exciting. The colour of the gold has such a beautiful soft tone to it that looks even more beautiful on the skin, and this is so comfortable and easy to wear all the time.
Measuring 39cm from end to end, the twisted oval links each measure 2.1cm in length and are all connected by those gorgeous knot designs that add such a beautiful elegance to the chain.
As beautiful and in wonderful condition today as when it was made, this antique Albert chain is as beautiful as it is rare.
