Antique Victorian Graduated Carnelian Bead Necklace

$138 USDAntique Victorian Graduated Carnelian Bead Necklace

Jewelry:Antique:Costume:Victorian:Carnelian:Cornelian:Bead:Necklace
A long Victorian Necklace strung with graduated Carnelian Beads. The Necklace measures approximately 35 inches long, and the largest Carnelian bead measures 5/8 inch in diameter. The string is knotted between each bead. There is no clasp, but the Necklace is long enough to slip easily over the head, although it is not long enough to be worn doubled as shown in my picture. In excellent condition with no damage to the beads, although of course, being a natural stone, there are natural inclusions ...

Antique Victorian French Jet Pendant Necklace and Earrings

$395 USD Offers ConsideredAntique Victorian French Jet Pendant Necklace and Earrings

Jewelry:Antique:Costume:Victorian:Collectible:Bohemian:Gablonz:French Jet:Demi-parure:Bijouterie:Rare
A wonderful Victorian Pendant Necklace with matching Earrings. Dating to the 1870's, this gorgeous set was probably made in Gablonz where the craftsmen created stunning lines of jet glass bijouterie, which were composed of small glass elements attached to metal bases, either by glue, or at a later date, by rivets. I cannot tell if these pieces are glued or riveted, as the metal backing to the pieces is painted. Usually in these old pieces, the paint on the metal has worn away exposing the method ...
