SOLD 1860s WHITBY JET CAMEOS MOURNING NECKLACE
|
Rare Victorian 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. Possess a fascinating piece with great historical significance and startling beauty when you purchase this very rare Victorian Jet cameo necklace. Excellent condition. Price $1800.00 SOLD |
