What is an Albert Chain made from?
Albert Chains were made of precious and base metals, depending on the gentlemans financial status at the time! They often turn up in 9 carat, 15 carat and 18 carat gold, as well as sterling silver.
Are there different types of Albert Chain?
Yes. Albert Chains can come with 'short' links or 'long links'. Each link is often fully hallmarked. Albert Chains also come in different styles, such as a single or double chain, as well as a graduated chain (This is where the link width gradually becomes larger towards the centre of the chain).
My Albert Chain is broken, is it still worth something?
Yes! Even if your chain is broken, it still has a value. Albert Chains can be made into smaller pieces of jewellery, as well as being worth their weight in gold or silver! Please see our easy to follow steps on how to value your Albert Chain.
