Details

This beautiful Antique lavaliere necklace was fashioned during the mid Victorian era Circa 1860 and boasts a wonderful hand carved bull mouth shell Cameo depicting the side profile of a classically dressed lady with a fabulous head piece and flowers across her clothing.

The cameo is claw set and displayed upon a wonderful Silver pendant decorated with foliate motifs, milgrain detailing and glistening Marcasites also known as black Diamonds for their metallic sparkle.

The chain is an unusual and attractive design, made up of curled silver links and fitted with a newer spring ring clasp. It sits comfortably around the neck and is a fine example of mid Victorian design.
