Victorian 14K Yellow Gold Seed Pearl Mourning Hair Pendant Greek Key C. 1860's

Description: Description: Victorian 14K Yellow Gold Mourning Hair Pendant W/ Enamel Greek Key design Greek Revival Grand Period C. 1860's. Comes with 1/20 12K necklace 18" Chain. This pendant’s front casing is made of 14K-17K yellow gold. It was once a brooch but the original tube hinge & pin bar is missing. The original C clasp was made into a bale. The front of the pendant has three different colored locks of hair beautifully displayed behind glass with a very precious seed pearl in the middle. The greek key design adorns the border, symbolizing eternal/love sentiment. There are also (24) precious seed pearls that surround the locks of hair. The back of the pendant has a removable casing and inside appears to be a very old folded up piece of paper. I did not disturb this because it appears very old and fragile. This casing does not test gold. The original photo backing paper is present with the numbers 865 hand written in pencil. I’m not sure if it means 1865. That date would correspond to the time era of the piece. There is an 18” chain necklace attached that is marked “Automade 1/20 12K GF” This is truly a precious piece. It is from the Victorian Middle Period/Grand Period (1861-1885) . Mourning Jewelry became popular after King Albert passed away. This piece was purchased as part of a prized estate collection of mourning jewelry. I will be posting several of the pieces in the coming weeks, so check out my other listings. This is truly a one of a kind heirloom to add to your collection. Details: Dimensions: Pendant: 37mm x 30mm Chain: 18” Marked: Pendant is not marked; the front casing acid tests between 14-17K. The back photo casing does not test gold. The delicate setting around the seed pearls and glass bezel appears to be a different tone and may not be gold. Too delicate to test.
