This is a wonderful, magical-looking necklace from the late Victorian era.
Made from graduated mother-of-pearl beads, this is a classic example of the style collectors call “pickets and berries.” The little shell beads have a beautiful natural luster, and we love the way the graduated sizes give the necklace such a lovely shape when it's worn.
It has a really nice feel in the hand and looks beautiful on. The mother-of-pearl beads are in good condition, with plenty of their original glow and character still intact.
At approximately 18 inches long, it's an easy length to wear and a wonderful example of Victorian jewelry made from natural shell.
A beautiful and slightly unusual piece of Victorian jewelry, with that wonderful combination of delicate, organic materials and just enough visual oddness to keep things interesting.
