Victorian 9ct Fetter Link and Love Knot Albert Chain, 16.5 inches

About the Item

We love this 9 carat 16.5" long Albert Chain with its slender fetter link (aka paper clip link) connected to a love knot link, in a repeating pattern. The T-bar and ring clasps are stamped 9ct (for 9 carat) and 375. Each fetter link is also stamped 375 and each love knot is stamped with a Birmingham mark and another difficult to distinguish mark. Alberts are named for Prince Albert who popularized the wearing of a vest with pocket watch and a fob on a chain, the watch in the vest pocket, with fob and T-Bar dangling. During the Victorian era, longer links were often employed to cut down on the laborious process of assembling many smaller links, as Alberts and watch chains were assembled by hand. We love the stylish combination of the fetter link and love knot, an important Victorian motif. If you are in search of an Albert with a more slender appearance to add to your “neck mess”, this chain works well. This chain has a yellower gold cast compared to other 9K chains, which you can see in the final photo which shows this chain side by side 2 others listed on First Dibs. This chain is pictured as the center chain in the photo. Listing numbers are shown. Our chain weighs 32 grams.
