Frequently Asked Questions
An Albert chain is a type of watch chain named after Prince Albert, consort to Queen Victoria. It typically features a T-bar that secures to a waistcoat buttonhole, with the chain looping into a pocket to hold a pocket watch. Albert chains come in several styles including single Albert (one chain), double Albert (two chains), and half Albert (shorter length). They were popular during the Victorian and Edwardian eras and were made in various metals including gold, silver, and rolled gold.
The value of a gold fob watch chain depends on several factors:
- Gold Content: 9ct, 14ct, 18ct, or 22ct gold content significantly affects value
- Weight: Heavier chains contain more precious metal and are generally worth more
- Age and Condition: Antique chains in good condition may have collectible value beyond metal content
- Craftsmanship: Intricate designs or chains from notable makers command higher prices
- Historical Significance: Chains with provenance or historical importance may have premium value
For an accurate valuation of your specific gold fob watch chain, we recommend requesting our free valuation service.
Yes, we are happy to purchase pocket watches and chains together as a set. In fact, complete sets of pocket watch and chain often have higher value than the individual items sold separately, especially if they are original matching pieces. We value pocket watches based on their maker, age, condition, and functionality, while chains are valued based on their metal content, craftsmanship, and collectible appeal. For the best valuation, we recommend keeping original sets together.
Yes, we actively purchase both 9ct gold and silver watch chains. 9ct gold watch chains are particularly common in British antique jewelry and we offer competitive prices based on both their gold content and any collectible value. For silver watch chains, we purchase sterling silver (925), silver plate, and other silver alloys. Both metals have their own appeal to collectors, with gold chains typically commanding higher prices due to their precious metal content. We provide free valuations for all types of watch chains regardless of metal type.
