A substantial Victorian sterling silver Albert chain, made in Birmingham 1896 and now presented as a bold statement necklace. The chain is formed from heavy, rounded curb links, each stamped with the lion passant, and it retains its original T-bar fastening.
The piece includes a full sterling silver drop section, finished with a large orange citrine fob (the fob itself is not silver). The presence of the drop makes the chain particularly versatile: it can be styled traditionally with the drop visible, or worn more cleanly as a necklace with the drop extending the length, as shown. More pendants can be added.
With a total weight of 95.8 grams, this is a notably heavy example, offering excellent presence and balance when worn.
