<p>[QUOTE="Virginia Wayne, post: 81194, member: 1079"]Hi, all! These are [supposed to be] 19th century 18k Victorian mourning pieces. The back of the pendant has a hinged glazed window that held some kind of memento like a lock of hair, and the scarab beetles represent rebirth. The bail on the pendant is not part of the suite. It is detachable and was simply added to accommodate some kind of chain. The screwbacks may have been a later modification as they are gold filled. These were appraised by Heritage Auctions here in Dallas. It's the hallmark that puzzles me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
