Amazing workmansip in the braiding and in the outstanding gold work, it comes from an estate in England. It is 15.6 grams gold and the hair is a rich chestnut brown with only minute fraying. This is the most outstanding hair bracelet Sassy has ever had the pleasure of owning. Excellent condition. Price $1200.00

1860s WHITBY JET CAMEOS MOURNING NECKLACE
|
Rare Victorian Whitby Jet Cameo Mourning Necklace (not signed) Item FVCN6945 In the Victorian Era, during the time of Queen Victoria's mourning for her beloved husband, jewelry made of Jet became not only required court attire but the influence of the Queen's court mandate made it fashionable wear for daily life. This unbelievably beautiful, ornately carved circa 1860s Jet cameo necklace is a museum quality example of the skilled artisanship of the Victorian Age. A massive chain of hexagonal links with faceted edging is joined by huge ovals with faceted edges and intricately etched and carved designs. This necklace is a piece of artistic mastery, which is further evidenced by the three astounding cameos ( etched on both sides of each one) suspended from vertically aligned circle rings attached to the grandiose chain. Take a look at the closeup of the cameos. This family of fine ladies remain eternally vigilant and at the ready for the occasion when the Queen might call for their service. In the interim, they wait at your beckoned call to serve you as elegant attendants to your own beauty. These lovely ladies come bearing gifts! Each one of your ladies-in-waiting has an engraved rose on her cameo's flipside giving this necklace incredible versatility and unlimited potential. The center cameo is 2 and 1/4" long and dangles 3 and 1/4" while the smaller adjacent cameos are 1 and 7/8" long. The 20" long chain still has its original hidden push clasp intact and it still works very well. This cameo necklace has some minor scratches here and there which is entirely appropriate for a piece that is over 140 years old and attests to its authenticity. The fact that it has survived virtually unscathed to the 21st century is a testament to the overall craftsmanship and durability of this rare Victorian necklace.

SOLD VICTORIAN HAIR & 14K GOLD MOURNING NECKLACE |
Victorian Hair and 14K Gold Cross Dog Collar (tests positive for 14k Gold) Item VFCN8530 Sassy's eyes just popped when she saw this necklace. It is a very rare and exquisite Victorian mourning necklace from the 1850s and is quite impressive. Sassy says she hasn't seen one this unusual and this completely intact in many many years. Oh yes, she tells me she sees occasional brooches from time to time and sometimes even a bracelet. But a hair necklace? With a cross? Never! It was created during the mourning of a loved one over 150 years ago. The handiwork is high quality in addition to the beautiful spiritual sentiment it expresses. The 14K ornate gold center ball is stately, beautiful, and utilitarian for it closes at the center with a gold squeeze tube push clasp. The necklace is made of woven chestnut brown hair. It has a 14K gold and woven hair cross which dangles from the center. Lacy, and in incredibly great shape, the necklace has a smaller round gold ball at the center back and has gold spacers between the open round hair segments. The hair balls are slightly flattened on the underside in the back from very gentle wear and this makes them able to hug the neck more perfectly. At 13 and 1/2" long, it is meant to wear high on the neck and it can not be extended. This necklace was highly treasured in the 1850s and is even more treasured now as it is extremely rare to find an intact necklace made of hair without any missing pieces and no damage! I have to tell you, Sassy was blown away by it; she loves crosses, and couldn't quit looking at it. Excellent condition. Price $999.00 SOLD |
