Elegantly proportioned this refined antique Edwardian sterling silver watch chain is a classic "Albert" and is stamped with the British 'lion passant' for sterling on every link, always a sign of a quality chain.
A versatile piece it can be worn as originally intended or wrapped around the wrist and worn as a statement bracelet. It features solid silver curb links that graduate in size and it has the requisite T-bar, dog-clip and a beautifully decorative open work fob with floral engraving and a gently pillowed shield shaped cartouche on each side. One cartouche is ornately engraved in the monogram of the original owner 'EJ' with the other left vacant.
A timeless favourite this classic antique silver watch chain is a fab way to bring elegant Edwardian style into your twenty-first century wardrobe! Great for those gents seeking more refined silver accessories!
