Victorian base metal bracelet (1890–1900).
This is a proper Victorian Albertina in rolled gold. Two strands of ribbed rolo chain run side by side, gathered by a sliding panel engraved with scrolling foliage with a tasselled drop hanging from one end and a dog clip at the other. The Albertina was named after Prince Albert, a ladies' version of his famous watch chain, and was worn on the wrist with a little fob, locket or watch clipped on. The slider is now a fixed element of the bracelet and the tassel adds a lovely amount of movement to the piece when worn. Rolled gold gives that warm antique gold colour at a fraction of the price, so it's an easy way to wear a real piece of Victorian fashion. Can be clasped at 8 or 9 inches. Total length including tassel is 12 inches.
Over sixty years of British sentiment, from Mizpah brooches and swallows to mourning jewellery in Whitby jet.
