Antique, Silver and Enamel Fancy Link Albertina Bracelet with Dog Clip and Tassel

This is a magnificently crafted hand made antique Albertina bracelet. With a stunning and unusual enamel slider featuring a beautiful Rosa Canina flower, fancy twisty rope links, two silver heart stoppers, a dog clip and a fabulous decorated tassel, this unique albertina has it all!

Albertina's were originally used by ladies to connect their pocket watch to their dress. They were very common in Victorian times, but as we not longer use pocket watches, they are now worn as bracelets. As was the way with antique, hand made items, these Albertinas were not mass produced and were created by the jeweller for the wearer, with little additions like charms and hearts, and different links, making many of them completely unique. In my view, this is what makes them so special.

This piece of history measures approimately 7 inches, and it weighs an impressive 22.15g. It is not marked, but has been verfied as sterling silver.
