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 "Georgian Jewellery, 1714-1830" pages 145 & 160 for examples) but the later date engraved is Victorian. The box shown with it is good for display but it will not close with the bracelet inside as it is not deep enough.
