This jewelry item is an antique Victorian silver "Albertina" watch chain that has been repurposed or styled to be worn as a bracelet. The central dangling charm is a late Victorian British coin featuring the "Veiled Head" (or "Old Head") portrait of Queen Victoria, designed by Thomas Brock. The visible Latin legend abbreviation reads: VICTORIA·DEI·GRA·BRITT·REGINA·FID·DEF·IND·IMP·, which translates to "Victoria, by the Grace of God, Queen of the Britains, Defender of the Faith, Empress of India". This specific portrait and inscription were used on British currency between 1893 and 1901.
It retains its original pocket watch hardware, including a heavy dog clip/swivel clasp on one end and a T-bar on the other. Linking these two elements together allows the pocket watch accessory to comfortably wrap around the wrist as a statement charm bracelet.
