Antique Australian Albert chain

The Albert chain was originally made to connect to a pocket watch at one end, and to be worn with a gents waistcoat with the tee bar sitting in the centre, resulting in a very smart look.

Popular in the late Victorian as well as the early 1900’s, today the Albert chain, or fob watch chain as they are also known as, are more commonly worn around the neck, and this one is one that will always be admired each time that it is worn.

Made by the early Australian jewellery company of W.F. Cole in the early 1900’s, it was made in 9 carat rose gold. The colour of the gold looks so beautiful and has such a wonderful warm colour to it that is more “soft” in its tone than many of the modern rose gold which is often quite pink. This colour looks amazing and combined with the gorgeous links will certainly get the admiration that it rightly deserves each time that it is worn.

Measuring 39cm from end to end, each of the long fancy links are connected by those sweet knot designs that adds to the character even more.

In wonderful condition even after more than a century has passes since it was made, this is not only a wonderful piece of early Australian jewellery, but in a design that is so unique and beautiful.
