Victorian Rock Amulet

Victorian Rock AmuletIt's a small, triangular rock. And we know it's an extremely special little rock because someone decided, ages ago, to have it mounted up in a bespoke gold frame to wear close, around their neck. We'll never know the whys or the whens, but here it is with a little gold flick above and still safely secured. A true amulet; a talisman; a keepsake.

5 inches in length and fastens with a lobster clasp

Classic Victorian belcher chain in solid 9ct yellow gold

English hallmarks inside the band warrant the gold at 18 carat and tell us it was crafted in Birmingham in 1890

the minimalist/modernist aesthetic is impeccable - incorporating elements from both the mid-century and early 20th century styles
