Victorian Fanciful Tortoise Shell Cross
About the Item
Amazing, think of it, how this tortoise shell cross is carved with circles cut away and even the loop cut out with a crack. The cross has survived and reaches us in excellent condition. There are no dibs or bites. Just a lovely form, buttery soft tortoise shell from an era where tortoise was not an endangered species. The shell of a Hawksbill tortoise was used as carefully as if it were a precious gem. Remember, workmanship was as important to the Victorians as were gemstones.

Antique Aristocratic Victorian Enamel and Diamond Tuxedo Locket
Located in Stamford, CT
A large Victorian black enamel and diamond locket locket that is the upmost of elegance while it suits all the fashion we wear today. If I were not in business I would treasure it and wear it with a Tuxedo jacket and blue jeans or a denim shirt. The locket has the matching diamond bale with three graduated stones. The center diamond is an old European cut of approximately .40 cts. G-H color VS2. It is surrounded by 10 small old cut diamonds. The back is a locket back with a frame that is removable. Your special memory will fit there. I have withheld superlatives. For me this piece is so especially beautiful that I want you to come up with your own. I do love the black and diamond...
