This is a wonderful Victorian sterling book chain collar and locket, c. 1880s. The necklace measures 16 1/2" long x 1" wide and the drop with locket is 4" long. The locket measures 1 3/4" (not including bail) x 1 1/4". The necklace and locket are in really excellent condition - there is one small repair to one of the links, but this is barely noticeable (see photo). One of the inserts in the locket is still present, but the original celluloid is missing. The necklace is not marked, but tests sterling. The locket bears a maker's mark ("SS"), possibly Stephen Smith (very fine London silversmith from 2nd half of the 19th Century).

This is a really wonderful Victorian Scottish agate and sterling bracelet, c. 1880. The bracelet is centered around a finely chased shield set with bloodstone and jasper. Links of beautifully chased silver set with agates complete the bracelet. It is very finely crafted and is engraved behind the shield "Carry Milne" with monogram "WJ"(?). The bracelet is really in excellent condition. It is not marked, which is typical of Scottish pebble jewelry of this period, but tests sterling. The bracelet has an inside circumference of 6 1/2" and is 1" at the widest point.
