Antique Victorian Sterling Silver Albetina Tassel Necklace c.1870s

A richly detailed Victorian Albertina necklace, beautifully composed from a marriage of two original Victorian chains dating to the 1870s. Crafted in sterling silver, this distinctive piece brings together an elegant combination of twisted rope, snake and curb-link chains, creating wonderful texture and movement. The necklace features an ornate sliding bead embossed with flowers, two floral-embossed connector beads and a beautifully finished tassel with an intricately embossed top. A round bolt-ring clasp completes the design, allowing the necklace to be worn as a striking long-length statement piece. With its layered construction, generous weight and exceptional period detailing, this one-of-a-kind Albertina necklace is a remarkable example of Victorian jewellery craftsmanship.
