Vintage Victorian MOURNING Neoclassical  Cameo Drop Necklace

This late 1800's to early 1900's black cameo drop necklace is quite elegant and as you can see these neoclassical cameos are old with headbands and flowers in their hair. I think by the looks of the back they are carved jet and not glass. They look as if they have been laquered on the front while the back remains original flat black. I would guess they are constructed  to resemble the original carved lava cameos but made for a person with less money than one who could afford to have the famous carvers do theirs. These are old and original to the necklace and the raised relief florettes that stradle these beauties really set off the patina that is needed to bring out the faces. The chain ( see closeup) is a fancy etched slender link chain. This measures 16" long around the neck. It is in great shape and has not been polished to protect the patina on it. Even lovelier in person  this is a fabulous old piece.

Victorian Mourning Cameo bookchain necklace brooch & earrings

This is one the most extravagant antique sets I have seen and let me say the photos don't do this huge set justice! The bookchain festoon fringe necklace has black glass and pearl drops and has a wide almost 3" long bib. The brooch as you can see can attach to it and be worn with the necklace or by itself. This brooch is HUGE ( 3 1/2") and HEAVY with ruffled filigree and pearls and faceted black glass accent. IT is a high quality piece that is impressive by itself. The  necklace is 15 3/4" long with rich golden patina. The earrings are french wires with matching pearl drops and fancy etched tops ( above each pearl). They are 2 3/4" long and they also have czech golden glass drops. This set is amazing and a real collectible so don't miss out at the last minute.
