9ct Gold Albert Necklace T-Bar Victorian Charles Daniel Broughton 16.5" Postage

This chain retains its classic curb-link style, and represents a fine example of a Victorian Albert Necklace that has been carefully preserved and kept functional through later repairs. A timeless piece of jewellery with real history, perfect for modern adaptation as a Necklace often by women or as fashion accessories by men, or traditionally used with pocket watches.

It was originally crafted in the late 19th century by Charles Daniel Broughton (C.D.B.), a known Birmingham maker of quality watch chains and findings.
The hallmark “C.D.B” can be found on one of the clasps and on the T bar, confirming its Victorian origin.

Over time, the chain has been sympathetically maintained and repaired:
One clasp displays the maker’s mark G.F.I (Gold Force International, USA, post-1986), suggesting it was fitted as a replacement.

The chain itself is 375 9ct rose gold (tested and hallmarked)
