A beautiful solid silver antique albertina bracelet with ornately carved heart motifs, and heart for with tassels adorning a timeless rope link chain finished with a silver heart padlock. A very pretty example of an Edwardian design circa 1905 that is so wearable today.
Named after Prince Albert, (1819 – 1861) queen Victoria’s consort the Albert is a single watch chain. The albertina is a more decorative version of its male counter part. The albertina usually with tassels, balls and decorative motifs not usually used to carry a watch was used more as a decorative item to compliment a ladies attire.
