SPECTACULAR
HAND-CARVED ROSES OF AGATE NECKLACE AND BRACELET SET
(Ref: 3211)
This is a Magnificent and Unique
Quality Set – a once-in-lifetime find.
The Necklace
There are five graduated Roses Hand-Carved from the most beautifully
figured marbled Agate. Each petal has been carefully carved, all the
natural curls and indentations expertly cut and polished by a master.
This is a work of Art.
The colours are mottled salmon, creams and greys in a vibrant fire of
movement.
They are very similar to many of the Agate colours used in Victorian
Scottish Jewellery: a lovely Rich, Warm mottled Salmon colour.
They are mounted in 18 carat, which is engraved with pleasing floral
shapes. Between the Roses, there are pairs of pointed leaves, one pair
pointing together, the next pointing apart.
The links are strong ‘barrel’
links and the clasp is a secure sprung bolt ring, stamped ‘750’ - 18
carat Gold.
It measures 18 inches and is in Excellent Condition, and could easily be
made shorter, up to choker size.
The Bracelet
This has three Roses of marbled mottled salmon Agate- each the same size
(nearly 1 inch across).
The Quality of workmanship is equally high here, too, with pairs of
leaves and strong barrel links.
The fixing is a simple, and effective T-bar and loop.
It is 8 inches long, also in Excellent Condition.
These two Magnificent and Unique pieces were born together and must be
sold on together.
They come in a Beautiful, Quality Gift presentation Box, too.

BEAUTIFUL SOLID GOLD CHAIN SET
(Ref: 82/3358/1653)
This unique 3 piece versatile set comprises an 18 ½
inch solid gold necklace or Albert chain and a matching gold bracelet
measuring 8 inches, and a Victorian double Agate fob.
The fob has a banded
Cornelian Agate on one side and a banded black Agate on the other.
The
necklace and bracelet have an interesting twist pattern with an ornamental
link and weigh 62 grams. The necklace has two spring clips for security,
or for clipping on the fob, or the bracelet to make the necklace longer!
The T-bar could sit at the back of the neck or the front. Lots of
Combinations! This is a very versatile, practical, dynamic set. (Albert
chains were named after Queen Victoria’s husband, Prince Albert, who
wore one, and made them popular. The T-bar went through a buttonhole in
the waistcoat, and a watch attached to one 'dog' clip, and a fob to the
other.)
It could even be used as an Albert chain and fob on a waistcoat, and the
same person or partner could wear the matching bracelet!
What a wonderful
and versatile trio!
All in excellent condition.
