A continental single Albert in niello silver with flat bar links decorated in a vine and star pattern throughout.

Each flat bar link carries a repeating vine and star pattern inlaid in black niello against the silver ground, the links connected by small plain round rings. The chain measures 17cm end to end and weighs 9.9 grams. Fitted with a swivel dog clip at one end and a bolt ring (spring ring) at the other. Both clasps carry small punched hallmarks consistent with continental silver. The niello is intact across every link with no loss or chipping. A compact, finely decorated chain.
