Edwardian ‘Polly’ Silver Reworked Sweetheart Necklace, 1914
Beautiful Edwardian Silver sentimental ‘Polly’ name brooch, which we've reworked into a unique necklace for a real signature piece. ‘Polly’ is raised in an elegant, bold font onto the simple cartouche which has been hand etched with pretty floral detailing to the edges of the name. The chain we have used is a modern sterling silver 16” belcher chain, making the necklace in total just under 18 inches, as the name plate measures c44mm in width (x 18mm in height).
We use this size chain so that the name sits beautifully against the clavicle, drawing attention to your décolletage. In the Victorian and Edwardian times these brooches were popular gifts for loved ones, known as ‘Sweetheart’ Brooches and also occasionally used in aristocratic houses for servants!
The original brooch is fully hallmarked for Chester, 1914. As the Chester assay office closed in 1962, items of antique jewellery bearing this hallmark are considered more rare and collectible. This unique and attractive name necklace has a wonderful history but real contemporary appeal, making a truly special gift for a truly special Polly!
As with all of our items, this comes boxed in our signature Violet Vintage box and packaging, and can be further gift wrapped with our wax seal and a hand written card.
