What a special necklace this is, made entirely from antique components, it features 8 highly desirable Victorian motif charms, on a stunning 5.3mm wide, rosey gold, diamond cut belcher chain.
 
This is a piece from my personal collection and all of the charms were collected individually by me, mostly from large stick pins and small brooches and converted into pendants and fixed to the chain with 9ct Gold soldered shut jump rings. The gold tone varies from charm to charm, as they are a mixture of different carats, some 9 & others 15. From left to right as you look at the necklace worn:
 
9 carat Gold snake charm with Turquoise and Garnet eyes 17x21.5mm
15 carat Gold and Pearl question mark 8.5x17mm
9 carat Gold Opal and Diamond heart shape clover 9x18mm
9 carat Gold and Diamond fox mask 10x15mm
9 carat Gold rhodolite Garnet flower 11.5x17.5mm
9 carat Gold Opal, Ruby and Pearl fly 17x17.5mm
15 carat Gold Tsavorite Garnet frog 12.5x16.5mm
15 carat Gold Pearl crescent moon and star 10.5x15.5mm
(All measurements are inclusive of the jump ring)
 
It is in excellent condition, closes with double dog clip clasp fixings and is ready to be worn and loved. Some chain links show minor wear commensurate with age. It sits well, naturally there is some movement of the charms when worn, but they are all fairly flat. You could use an extender chain at the back should you wish to wear it at a longer length.
 
It will be sent by royal mail special delivery in the UK, or international courier service and fully insured worldwide.
