SOLD! Antique silver gilt seed pearl locket, brooch and pendant.

Probably French late 1800 and delicate with a bird on top.  I shall add photos of the locket at the back soon!  I have it on a seed pearl necklace that matches its seed pearls.

Did you know seed pearls are less than 2mm in diameter.  They come from a variety of oysters and fresh water mussels from around the world and been for used centuries.  Queen Victoria had dresses embroidered with seed pearls on the bodice.
