Victorian Earrings Necklace Bracelet Pin 18k Gold French Mourning Jewelry (6073

Description

Antique Victorian Napoleon III jewelry suite necklace bracelet pendant earrings and pin. 18k yellow gold and onyx. Made in France circa 1850's. Comes in an antique jewelry box.
Measurements: Necklace is just under 15 1/2 (39cm) inches long. Drop is approximately 1 1/4 inches (3.5cm) long. Bracelet is approximately 7 inches (17.5cm) long. Earrings are approximately 2 3/4 inches long (7cm). Pin a little over 2 1/4 inches (6cm) long. Combined weight is 18.7 grams.
Astonishing to find a set of this age survive close on 200 years intact. Composed of finely carved and polished black onyx set off with beautifully moulded yellow gold. The necklace has elongated navette shaped faceted links, their terminals wrapped in coils of gold and connected by small round links, enabling flexibility. The center of the necklace is a badge or shield shape suspending a small black heart, all set in gold and perfectly matching the rest of the necklace. The bracelet has flat, concave rectangular onyx links that reflect the shield of the necklace and also suspends a small heart, identical to the one on the necklace. The center of the bracelet is mounted in repousse gold with foliage and flowers. The earrings match the necklace and bracelet with their gradated rectangular links: beginning with a square and enlarging and widening towards the bottom. The links are seperated from each other by gold mounts, giving the impression of a very luxurious ladder. The same repousse work mounts the earrings. The earrings are long pendants and extremely elegant. The top and bottoms can be seperated and can be worn alone or seperately. These are called top/drop or day and night earrings since the simpler surmounts would be worn alone by day and the whole, more elaborate pendant could be worn at night. Earrings close from back to front, typical of Victorian jewelry. Matching pin in 18k gold with a metal stick.
Good quality workmanship. The fine way the onyx is cut indicates a top quality, sophisticated manufacturer. The understated gold work similarly reflects the high quality of the jewelry maker. The black and gold mourning color combination is stunning and no less fashionable and wearable today as it was before 1860. The tongue in groove clasp of the bracelet is secure as is the engraved box-clasp of the necklace.
The set comes in an antique jewelry box, which we do not believe to be original to the set and is not fitted to contain the individual pieces of the set.
Marks: the set is marked in a few places with the gold eagle mark, indicating 18k gold in France. The inside of the box is embossed in gold: B. NOURY JOAILLIER 6 R. GRERESE PARIS.
Condition is good with negligible wear commensurate with age. Please see enlarged photos and don't hesitate to ask questions which will do our best to answer.
