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.

- Chunky 9ct Double Fetter and Triple Love Knot Albert Chain, 18 inchesLocated in Baltimore, MDEach double fetter link on our 18” chunky Victorian albert chain is connected to 3 love knot links with the pattern repeats eight times. The T-bar and dog clips are stamped 9 carat. 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. Our chain combines the fetter link and love knot link. Longer links like the fetter link were used to cut down on the laborious process of making and assembling many smaller links. We love the double fetter link and triple love knot combination which continues the pattern to the top of the chain with two matching dog clips, which serve as clasps for easily connection and removal. We also love the beefiness of the double fetter links and the love knots as compared to the slim links of most albert chains. The final image shows how our chunky Albert looks next to our 15 carat albert chain...Category

A great deal of hand work was involved in their construction. This chain has a slightly more yellow tinge as compared to other 9K and even some 15K watch chains. The love knot chain...Category
