1915 Solid 14k Yellow Gold Double Albert Curb Link Watch Chain Necklace (18.5”)

The double Albert watch chain is characterized by having two equal lengths of chain attached to the center dangling T-bar/spring ring combination. The original use for this wonderful piece back in 1915 when this chain was crafted was for one chain to hold the pocket watch, as the other was used to hold the watch key to wind the movement as the T-bar would then be affixed to the vest button hole and the center spring ring hanging next to it for fobs, charms, and talismans to bring out the character of the owner. You could tell a lot from a wearer just by their specific watch chain just like you could today by the different ways someone might wear or style their chains as well. Handcrafted out of a yellow toned solid 14k yellow gold in 1915 by NYC maker Cowen & Malawista this chain is in great condition with each piece of hardware being thicker, heavier, and larger than the average and in perfect working functioning order and tight spring back. Very versatile with numerous ways to wear this chain the T-bar(1.5” long) spring ring combo is fully stationary in the exact middle of the necklace allowing for a hanging drop to wear your pendants and charms. At a wearable length of 18.5” and the curb link style chain a thick 3mm wide by 1.5mm thick with the entirety of the piece weighing 18.56g. Not easy to find in this perfect size tonight ratio at an incredible price they are only becoming more rare and sought after as the days go on.
