A magnificent and breathtaking example of Victorian Mourning jewellery and craftsmanship. There are nineteen individual stations of small hand carved flowers that have been finely riveted to a silver chain link backing. Each individual flower measures a half inch in diameter. A single heart shaped pendant with silver overlay gives a romantic finishing touch to this stunning piece. The heart pendant measures 1/2" inch wide by almost 3/4" inches in height. Unfortunately, Father Time has created some flaws to this piece, which I will note as follows: One station has been lost and this could be remedied by making the piece shorter. A small portion of the silver overlay on the heart pendant has been lost over time, but is only noticeable under close inspection, and finally, the extender chain and spring ring close is a modern day addition to the piece and not original to the necklace. Relatively minor flaws for a piece of this antiquity. Total length is 17" to clasp.
