A Spectacular and Simply Sensational Quality Mid-Victorian French Jet Necklace with black ‘Snowflake’ pendants.
There are five black snowflake pendants in all, with the centre one the largest.

This measures approx.1 ¾  inches across, and the others 1 ½  inches.
Each snowflake consists of dozens of pieces of black French Jet.

Each piece is shaped:- round, pendeloque, diamond, and each is faceted to reflect light.
The Necklace- Riviere consists of ovals of faceted, convex French Jet.
On a strong original chain, with spring clasp, this sparkling and Elegant Necklace is in Excellent Condition, for its age- approx. 150 years old.
It measures  15 ½   inches, and could easily be made shorter by clipping into different positions on the chain.

It would be very easy to unhook two of the snowflake Pendants and put them onto ear wires to make matching Earrings, then hook them back again at any time without any damage to the Necklace.
