Gold-Filled Engraved Straight Bar Pocket Watch Chain | Vintage Retro Antique Western Jewelry

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52753342344_7fb5730d79_b.jpg This type of accessory can also be seen on the fashion stage. The button is meant to be fastened to trousers. The trousers I am wearing do not have a suitable place to fasten it, so I have attached it to my top (as shown in the try-on photo). Please do not fasten it like I did. This particular piece is simpler and lacks an extra chain, giving it a more minimalist feel. Albert watch chains (also known as "single Albert" chains) are named after Prince Albert (1819-1861), the husband of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom, much like double Albert watch chains. In addition to the chain attached to the watch, an Albert style features an additional chain section that serves as a "drop" for attaching other items, such as fobs, charms, or small locket pendants. This drop may connect at various points on the main chain, and its length can vary depending on the specific design of the chain. This piece has excellent quality but is a pre-owned item. Please refrain from comparing it to new items or applying high standards. 🙏🏻 ⚜️ Circa 1950s-1980s ⚜️ Normal signs of wear; please examine photos (video) carefully. ⚜️ Gold filled, marked: 1/20 12KGF ⚜️ Chain length approximately 34cm This chain is not very long. Only those with very slender necks could wear it as a necklace (it fits me perfectly). Such gold-filled chains typically cost over ten thousand; my pricing is regrettably low. 👀 Please note that all jewelry is measured with a tape measure, and slight inaccuracies are normal. Since jewelry is not always geometrically precise, the measurements provided represent the longest and widest points. 🖤 This auction is for one chain only; pocket watch and other photographic props are not included. **Please Note Before Purchasing:** 💚 If you have any questions before buying, please send us a message. 💚 For jewelry from the 1940s-1980s, it is almost impossible for the metal to be free of fading, discoloration, or rust spots. Please have this understanding. 💚 We will do our best to clearly present the items in photos on the page, and we ask that you carefully inspect the images and descriptions. 💚 Antique jewelry is, by its nature, an item with age. It will absolutely show signs of wear after being graced by time. 💚 The jewelry in this shop will not have its style altered, e.g., clip-on earrings converted to post earrings. 💚 For those who have never encountered "Vintage Jewelry" before, please reconsider carefully before purchasing. 💚 If an item arrives damaged and unwearable, a refund can be issued. However, returns or refunds based on reasons such as "not as imagined," size discrepancies, color differences, or damage not incurred during shipping will not be accepted. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52759961100_28eba13932_o.jpg IU has also been seen with similar accessories. ____________________________________ **About Gold-Filled Jewelry:** Many antique jewelry pieces feature markings such as: 1/10 10K, 1/12 12K, 1/14 14K, GF, GT, KT... These markings are related to government regulations on the gold content required in jewelry. Gold-filled items are regulated by the government, so markings cannot be arbitrarily engraved. Therefore, these items are far superior to gold-plated ones. Gold-filled jewelry is made with a solid layer of gold bonded to a base metal core. The exterior surface is pure gold. Everything you see and touch is solid gold. In the jewelry industry, the gold content must be at least 1/20th of the total product weight. The jewelry is made with a base metal (usually brass or copper) with a thick layer of gold bonded to both sides (like a sandwich). Unlike gold plating, the process for making gold-filled jewelry involves thick sheets of gold that are mechanically bonded using heat and high pressure, rather than electroplating. This bond is permanent, and the gold layer is much thicker than gold plating. It is not uncommon to find gold-filled jewelry that is fifty years or older looking almost like new.
