Antique Victorian Sterling Silver Albertina Watch Chain/Bracelet Circa 1890-1900
Named after Queen Victorias husband Albert, Albert chains and the more feminine version ‘Albertinas’ were worn by both gents and ladies to attach fobs and watches. The more feminine versions were prettier with floral engraving and motifs as seen in this lovely Victorian example. Desirable today these pieces make stunning bracelets.
Crafted from Sterling silver, designed as a double rope twist with two pretty diamond shaped engraved ’sliders’ which are not designed to slide, a charming ’twist’ T-bar and a six row fox-tail tassel which hangs freely and a secure dog-clip to secure.
Indulge in the beauty of the past with this particularly lovely late Victorian Albertina, a timeless piece of jewellery which can be worn as a standalone statement piece or layered with other bracelets if desired.
