Featured Strange mark on Victorian locket/book chain parure.

I'm glad you had the same sensation for silver from the pics but... for making difference between a boy and a girl... you got caught
Testing kit is new for me, I hunted successfully for decades, without even a loupe, trusting my gut feelings (and having handled so much pieces helps...).
For now, internet hunting only, so clues are in the pics of details such as findings and construction

 

The test looks good to me, that is a beautiful set!!!!!

 

Another parure appeared on the Bay
This one is unmarked sterling too...
It is in the original case, has earrings but too lacking the brooch.
Happily I got mine for a fraction of this price

Wheee - someone thinks highly of their merchandise. I thought I'd found the brooch that matched yours yesterday, but on closer inspection (it was on Ebay) it was reverse-molded glass instead of silver. Probably gilt metal too. Rats.

 

Yes, this one is out of reach!
Thank you evelyb for thinking of the replacement brooch
I'm exploring the Internet and mostly ebay for a matching brooch, sure it'll pop out

 

looks like the brooches were the most wearable it's of these sets.....& likely ended up in jewelry boxes....

 

Sure! The chain is a pain to clasp and unclasp

 

I'd wear the bracelet. I have a smaller one which used to belong to my great-grandmother, who by all accounts was a remarkable and strong lady.

 

I'd wear it too, if I wasn't afraid to bang it!

 

Wear one like this with it, that should keep furniture and walls from accidentally walking into your arm.

 

Whoaahhh! You can use it as a weapon if you can lift your arm wearing this beauty

 

That is said to be the original purpose.

 

Haha, an ANTI-WEINSTEIN!

 

Ha Ha Ha........anti - Husband !!

I can’t see how this mark compares to yours.

 

OOOHHH! Thank you Huntingtreasure for finding the exact same bracelet
I think the mark is the same
Mine:


the one in the link:



that should be the case as it is a design registration
But... That PRICE!!!
I paid 220£ for my cased parure

 

Very happy for you!
Enjoy, it is beautiful. Happy to help!
