About the Item
English Antique Victorian 9ct Rose Gold Albert Chain Necklace With Intricate White Chalcedony Fob
T-Bar, Circa 1890
Own a substantial slice of jewelry history. Originally designed as a gentleman’s pocket watch accessory in the late 19th century, this solid 9ct rose gold Albert chain has transitioned into a "cool-girl" staple. These chains gained sentimental fame during WWI when women wore them as necklaces to keep their soldiers’ memories close—a tradition of style and sentiment that continues today.
The Design
Craftsmanship
This "curb link" chain is a testament to Victorian quality. Every single link is meticulously hallmarked with the '9ct' gold stamp, a sign of superior 19th-century production. The gold has a warm, rosy hue characteristic of the era. It features two original, heavy-duty dog clips and a sliding T-bar.
The piece is anchored by a magnificent, intricate fob set with what appears to be a creamy white chalcedony stone. The fob is easily removable, allowing you to swap it for other charms or wear the chain in its minimalist form.

Versatility

A fob is an adornment or a seal that hangs from the ribbon or chain of a pocket watch. Its purpose is to decorate or add weight to the watch chain itself, making it easier for the watch to be withdrawn from a pocket. The opposite of a cameo, an intaglio is created by carving into the surface of a stone to produce an image in relief, with the purpose of pressing into sealing wax, often used in signet rings and fobs.
