The face, hair and head of the bust is carved from a single piece of pink coral which is topped with a gold crown set with emeralds and a pearl. The head also has drop earrings which are formed from gold and natural cultured pearls. The torso of the piece is finely engraved and has been set with six baguette cut emeralds and a pear shaped emerald, all rubover set. The shoulders of the bust are set with drilled natural cultured pearls which take the form of epaulettes. To the rear the piece has a hinged twin pin brooch fastener which is working well and is secure, along with a gold bale that has been added at some point after its original manufacture. A striking and unusual piece, it is undoubtedly one of a kind, and may even be designed to reference Queen Mary, who was a notable jewel collector. In lovely condition the piece does have one slight area of note, which is a slight bleed of solder where the bale has been added, however this is at the rear of the brooch pendant and is not noticeable from the front.

Internally the locket opens to reveal two glazed sides which are suitable for photos or to have hair or a small momento placed inside. The bale of the locket has two very small French marks, one being the French eagle mark which tells us the material is 18 karat gold, and the other an illegible maker's mark. Etruscan Revival jewellery was popular from the 1860s to the 1880s and was often bought as a souvenir of a Grand Tour. This particular example dates to the later part of that date range and presents in very good condition with just a fine crack to one of the small turquoise, commensurate with age and use. A truly delightful example of Etruscan Revival jewellery which is just as wearable and useable today as it was 150 years ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarked - French eagle purity mark and an illegible maker's mark\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasures - 4.5cm L (including bale)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTotal weight of piece - 14.3 grams\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNB.
