That's a stunning site. U rarely almost ever see Edwardian like that in such god condition and so well matched. The emerald art deco pin has some major flaws though. The bezel is bent or was never shaped right, it's asymmetrical when it should be absolutely square. |

You will want to go with reproductions, as the originals will be very pricey. Plus, they are very hard to find and with antiques you won't know exactly what you are getting until you have it appraised. Kinda risky! I know women did not wear watches back then, so time keeping pieces were on necklaces. If you find one you are very lucky, because after wrist watches became popular for women they necklaces were parted out. The would take them apart and make other jewelry with them. |

Back in those time, woman wore cameos and hair pins mostly and really enormous gemstones on their neclaces, they did not have the technology to make small cut diamonds and most of the gemstones that are used for jewelry nowadays were not yet discovered. The men in those time wore pocket watches and always wore tuxedoes and hats. |
