Antique Oversized Fancy Link Albert (15")
GUYS. I. Cannot. With. This. Albert. Okay, okay. Hear me out. You're an eclectic girlie. You love your shit big and bold. What everyone else is doing is not what you wanna be doing. You're an icon. Wait --- are you suggesting you're not an icon? Stop that now. You're an icon. And this chain is an icon too. How to take a classic and make it timeless fashion... it's been done with this chain. It's still comfortable, still solid, still perfect for wearing every single day for the rest of your life. But it's uniquely you.
The colour of the gold has me melting. It's buttery, creamy even. Yellow but with a rich, warm hue. Like you took yellow and put a dash of sunset into it. Not rosey, but deep and dimensional. And the links. Each one a buttery nugget of joy - the oval so pleasing against your skin. The texturing on each link subtle but impactful.
She's been converted to be necklace length. As you all know Alberts were originally worn on Gents waistcoats (what a waste) and it's us modern girlies who have turned them into necklaces. But as they weren't originally necklaces sometimes they're short and we get creative. So some clever sausage added on those lovely chubby doughnut links to add some length, and a second dog clip (that's why they don't match - one is a classic curved style, the other flat facet but both stunning).
Anyway, she will complete every outfit for the rest of your days and bring you joy untold. I can't wait for you to have her.
NB: I struggled to capture the colour correctly in these photos. The worn photo shows the colour most truly.
