Albert chains are named after a style of watch chain Prince Albert wore during the Victorian period. Traditionally this style of watch chain has a bar on one end used to affix the chain to a vest buttonhole, while the opposite end of the chain is fitted with a swivel hook to attach the watch.

Beautifully hallmarked, this exceptional 15ct slide chain is one of the finest examples from this period that we've ever had, with a geometric tassel, and two heavily decorated slides, studded with 8 pearls each, two tones of gold. A tasteful extender was added to create a wearable length.
