Victorian hand necklace pendant - figural right hand jewelry
A beautifully ornate Victorian hand necklace pendant, the figural right hand detailed on both sides, has a lovely cuff, a ring on her index finger, and is holding a small orb between her thumb and index finger.The chain slips through a large bail opening, under the pear, and measures almost 1/4" (9mm x 5mm) so will accommodate most any chain.- hand measurement - 1 1/4" x 3/8" (31mm x 10mm)- metal - solid 3D sterling silver (.925 silver)- photographed next to an old US dime for scale- the rolo chain is sold separately here. It's shown oxidized but also available in shiny silver and in a variety of lengths- here is the sterling silver drawn cable chain shown in the 6th photo The hand is typical of the Victorian era but I haven't been able to positively date it. I know that at least several identical hands were made because I have collected two of them.I've borrowed it from history, made a few simple alterations and reproduced it in sterling silver to share with you.- symbolism -The
