An elaborate sterling silver necklace with matching earrings. I bought this many years ago from the original owner who had purchased it in the Southern United States. I believe it is a handcrafted piece. It has an unusual mark as the signature, with the word sterling written in script. It is a fairly heavy necklace with long links with what appear to be solid silver balls attached to the links. The main pendant has a stylized circular design that is repeated in the matching earrings which have posts. This is very interesting set, and I would love to know who the designer is.

Size:
necklace: 23 inches
main pendant 1-3/8 inches

Condition: Very nice. Silver is bright with a lovely luster.

I have not seen a Scottish gold and agate mourning brooch like this before. The design is of a shield with a crown on top, and the body has been tested as 9 kt gold. There is a registration mark on the back, but the date mark area is worn and difficult to read. Carnelian, green, and moss agate stones are on the face of the shield, and natural pearls are inset on the top of the crown, which is an unusual feature in itself. In the center of the open face shield is a memorial hair insert with a lock of hair with a few small pearls and twist of gold wire. A very attractive and unique Scottish brooch.

Condition: Very good. Under magnification there is a bit rubbing to the glass face of the mourning insert.

Size: height- 1 7/8 X width at widest point- 1 3/8 inches.

A rare pare of Scottish sterling silver and agate hatpins. Hallmarked Birmingham 1912, the design is of a sterling silver X, inset with grey and green agate panels with a star burst design in the center of the cross. A very unusual pair.

Size: Full length of one arm is 1 3/8 inches. Width- approx. 1 inch.
Pin- 7 inches.
