GEORGIAN/EARLY VICTORIAN woven hair bracelet with a faceted purple stone in a cannetille work gold clasp. Four colors of plaited hair made up this bracelet, which makes me wonder if it might have been made by four daughters for their mother. It is 7" long and 1-1/4" wide.   View  View   View   #V1957
