Antique Solid 14k Yellow Gold Double Albert Curb Link Watch Chain Necklace (20.5”)

The double Albert watch chain is characterized by having two equal lengths of chain attached to the center dangling T-bar/chain link ring combination. The original use for this wonderful piece back in the late 1800’s to early 1900’s 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 chain ring links 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 the early 1900’s 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(1.75” long) and chain link ring combo is fully stationary in the exact middle of the necklace allowing for a hanging drop to wear your pendants and charms. At the perfect size to weight ratio this chain measures at a wearable length of 20.5” and the curb link style chain a thick 4mm wide by 2mm thick with the entirety of the piece weighing 34.8g. Not easy to find at an affordable price they are only becoming more rare and sought after as the days go on. My intervals for finding them lately are just getting longer and longer as they just don’t show up like they used to.
