With its heavy gauge construction and warm rose gold tone, this is a chain that immediately conveys the quality and confidence of late Edwardian goldsmithing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe elongated trombone links are interspersed with intricate lover's knot links, creating a striking rhythm throughout the chain while showcasing two of the most desirable link patterns of the period. Completing the design are its original dog clip, T-bar and graduated pendant drop, allowing it to be worn traditionally with a pocket watch or adapted as a contemporary necklace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlbert chains were indispensable accessories for the Victorian gentleman, designed to secure a pocket watch while serving as a display of both craftsmanship and prosperity. The lover's knot, symbolising enduring affection and unity, adds a layer of sentiment to the bold architectural form of the trombone links.
