The perfect antique find: A chunky Victorian Albertina in a rich, warm gold patina. The design has ornate details - it features beautifully embossed slides with floral and geometric motifs, with a T-bar and dogclip closure. It has an extra element with the puffed heart charm, a favorite motif of the Victorian period, which hangs gracefully from the chain.
As it has a substantial weight and ornate details, it can be worn as a standalone bracelet or a base for a curated charm collection.
While Prince Albert popularized the heavy watch chains for men (the "Albert" chain), the Albertina emerged during the Victorian era as a more delicate, highly decorative version designed specifically for women.
