Gold-Filled T-Bar Pocket Watch Chain / Vintage Western Antique Jewelry

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52753097306_2acc87214f_b.jpg **Such accessories can also be seen on the fashion stage.** Albert-style watch chains (also known as "single Albert" chains), like double Albert watch chains, are named after Prince Albert (1819-1861), the husband of Queen Victoria of England. In addition to the chain attached to the watch, the Albert style features an additional chain section that serves as a "pendant," used for attaching other items such as pendants, fobs, or small locket charms. This drop may connect at different points on the main chain and can vary in length depending on the individual style of the chain. This piece has excellent quality but is a pre-owned item. Please do not compare it to new items or hold it to a high standard. 🙏🏻 ⚜️ Circa 1970s-1980s ⚜️ Shows normal signs of wear; overall condition is quite good. Please examine photos (and video) carefully. ⚜️ Gold-filled, Marked: 1/20 12KGF ⚜️ Chain length approximately 34.5 cm The length of this chain is not very long; it would fit best on someone with a slender neck to be worn as a necklace (it fits me snugly). Chains of this type, being gold-filled, typically cost over ten thousand; I apologize that my pricing is too low. 👀 Please note that accessories are measured with a tape measure, so slight errors are normal.

Gold-filled items are government regulated, so they cannot be arbitrarily stamped. Therefore, these items are significantly better than gold-plated. Gold-filled jewelry is made with a layer of pure gold bonded to a base metal core. Everything you can see and touch is pure gold. In the jewelry industry, the amount of gold must be at least 1/20th of the total product weight. The jewelry is made of a base metal (usually brass or copper), covered on both sides with a thick layer of gold (like making a sandwich). Unlike gold plating, the process used to create 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 looks nearly new and is fifty years old or older.
