Substantial late Victorian / early Edwardian graduated 9ct gold Albert chain, English manufacture, weighing 56 grams, with full hallmarks throughout and maker’s mark “S Bros”, circa 1895–1908.
A chunky double Albert chain necklace, beautifully crafted in 9ct gold. The chain graduates in thickness, the widest point being approximately 8.3 mm and tapering to 5.7 mm. Each link is clearly stamped 9 ct 375 and the piece features classic dog‑clip clasps and a T‑bar that hangs from the chain.
In between the 2 albert chains is a drop chain that was used to attach a small fob or seal.
Originally used as part of a gentleman’s watch chain, the double Albert has since evolved into a highly sought‑after jewellery piece perfect for wearing as a bold standalone necklace or layered with other pieces.
