Very very special piece ! So we all know Queen Victoria who was responsible for the Victorian era of mourning and jewelry ( also mourning) .
When she had passed the country mourned her loss and commemorative stick pins were made with her bust on them in 1901 . This is one of those pins in sterling silver and converted to a charm !
Wonderful piece of history!
This charm is $150 plus shipping. .
This is possibly my favorite time for jewelry in general . A fun fact about Queen Victoria is According to one of her biographers, Giles St Aubyn, Victoria wrote an average of 2,500 words a day during her adult life. From July 1832 until just before her death, she kept a detailed journal, which eventually encompassed 122 volumes. After Victoria’s death, her youngest daughter, Princess Beatrice, was appointed her literary executor. Beatrice transcribed and edited the diaries covering Victoria’s accession onwards, and burned the originals in the process.
Despite this destruction, much of the diaries still exist. In addition to Beatrice’s edited copy, Lord Esher transcribed the volumes from 1832 to 1861 before Beatrice destroyed them.
Part of Victoria’s extensive correspondence has been published in volumes edited by A. C. Benson, Hector Bolitho, George Earle Buckle, Lord Esher, Roger Fulford, and Richard Hough among others
This charm has a bale attached right on top so it is ready to slide onto any charm hold her earring chain or bracelet!
