All of my items belonged to my family, mother, step-mother and father and even grandparents. I am downsizing as I am not getting any younger and have a life-time of collecting in jewellery and collectables to rehome. I do hope you will find something to your taste.
This auction is for a pendant that belonged to my maternal grandmother and she wore it as a mourning piece of jewellery when my grandfather died. It does have some small amount of damage to the rose so I have put a large picture for you to examine. I do not know what the carved material is. My grandmother wore this pendant a lot and my mother had it refurbished with an ornate leaf design around the edges and across some of the front of the pendant. I know this specialized work was carried out by a goldsmith. The back plate of the brooch is as original and is brass. The silver is not marked but is guaranteed to be Sterling Silver. Lovely big bale that would easily take a 4mm or larger chain but looks equally good on black velvet. The black stone I was told was Onyx but I am not a gemologist so I cannot say for sure, it could be Jet or Glass. The pendant measures, 2-1/2″ from the top of the bale down and 1-3/8″ across the back. It weighs, 16.3grams.

“Today hallmarking is governed by the Hallmarking Act of 1973, which has simplified them and made them easier to understand. The Act came into force on 1 January 1975 and governs the hallmarking of silver, gold and platinum at the four UK assay offices 0 London, Birmingham, Sheffield and Edinburgh. The main points to note are:
Hallmarks must now consist of a maker’s (or sponsor’s) mark, the standard mark, the assay mark and the date letter. (Edinburgh uses the lion rampant for sterling silver.)
All silver items weighing more than 7.8g must be hallmarked (1g for gold, 0.5g for platinum.)”

I AM ONE OF THE ‘GOOD GUYS’
Please read my feedbacks, I am proud of them.
Serious bidders please who are website registered only and willing to abide by my terms and conditions. All measurements and weights are approximate. I do not guarantee that stones in jewellery are original to that piece of jewellery; but I do guarantee that all stones are present unless stated otherwise. Please remember old glues are not super glues; do not use spirit cleaners or soak in soapy water as this will loosen stones. NEVER put soft stones like Opals or Pearls into spirit or soapy cleaner far better to get them professionally cleaned by your local jeweller. I also always recommend a complete clean and service for watches.
BUSINESS SELLERS: It is fine for you to resell my items. It is not fine for you to use my pictures or descriptions. This is illegal and against website selling rules.
