GEORGIAN/VICTORIAN 15 carat yellow gold hair
bracelet with tiny seed pearls and curl over plaited gray-blonde hair, blue enamel,
engraved on the back "John Burdon, b. Octr 14th 1811, d. Novr 12th 1893",
6-1/3" around the inside with the front navette shape 1-7/8" by 1". Rev. John Burdon was a son of Rowland
Burdon and lived at Castle Eden Dene in northern England. The navette shape
and style of this bracelet is very typically Georgian (See Dawes & Collings

engraved is Victorian.

GEORGIAN/EARLY
VICTORIAN cut steel daisy motif set: the necklace is 18" by 1-1/3", the
bracelet 7" by 1-1/3", early to mid-1800's. Polished steel faceted studs
were riveted to a steel backing to fashion this type of jewelry. This
set is particularly pristine and especially brilliant as each tiny stud has
12 facets. See Clifford's Cut-Steel & Berlin Iron Jewellery, plate II
