Victorian Hair & Gold Albert Chain with Heart Motif

382K
803 Admirers Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

An unusual Albert (or watch) chain with fine woven hair terminating in to three heart shaped 9ct rose gold sections. The Victorians had quite a morbid passion for braiding human hair, but pieces are keenly collected today as examples from the period. It was made circa 1860.

Ollys Pick

It is incredible to find an Albert with the hair in such good original condition
