This is a wonderful piece of Victorian history..very Elegant and even lovelier on...the Antique Moonstones are just a wonderful pale white shimmer to them..and not hallmarked but tested to be Silver...the drop is 2.5 inches and was imported from England. I love the nice shimmer to all the stones...another blessing to behold :)
Of all the pieces I've seen that you've posted, THIS is my favorite! Thanks for sharing it! :-)
Again, England is EXTREMELY diligent about hallmarks, the laws are VERY strict there. I don't know where it was made, but it wasn't there
Actually there is a lot of English silver that was never Hallmarked for the maker to avoid paying the fees to be Hallmarked. (Not legal but it DID happen often.)
Also if an item's total gold/silver falls below a certain weight, then it is perfectly legal not to have it hallmarked.
Thank you for letting me know...I have heard of that also...and confirming my suspicions :)
Most beautiful!
Season's Greetings to you and Yours
