This is a beautiful Victorian Whitby carved jet necklace with a fixed sterling silver belcher chain and a large carved piece at the top with two hand carved jet beads suspended underneath. The chain is stamped "S/SIL" on a tag near the clasp and the working bolt ring clasp is also stamped "925". The length is 17" (to the top of the large jet piece) and the large jet measures 1 1/8" wide x 1" high x 3/4" deep.
The carved jet beads are 3/8" and 1/2" diameter. The chains that they're suspended from aren't hallmarked but look like silver and one hangs slightly longer than the other one as part of the design. The drop from top of large piece to bottom of longer chain measures 2 5/8". The chain needs a light polish but this will be left for the buyer.
