When I bought this pendant I was hoping I'd be able to remove the glass panels and few strands of hair; reader, I can't.
The edges of the pendant are engraved with 'CARL 25th Feb 1867'
There's no doubt in my mind that Carl was lost and this pendant was a nod to his life and /or death.
If mourning jewellery fascinates you, this is a lovely and understated piece to add to your collection.

All of my pieces are at the very least pre-owned and most of them are vintage or antique. This item is not brand new and as such, will not look brand new. Please expect signs of wear to include kinks in links, surface wear to gold, scuffs to stones and accept this as part and parcel of buying second hand jewellery. I will be as clear as I can with item descriptions and condition statements and aim to make sure you are aware of any potential defects before you buy. Please study the photos carefully as they form part of the condition statement.
