this is great piece preethi
A reference photo from Oppi Untracht's book on a similar piece is below. Also below is a photo of coins, one with an image of Edward VII, followed by a photo of the coins in my necklace which are quite worn. But doesn't the silhouette look suspiciously like Edward's?
Thank you for all the photos, this makes it much easier and also joyful to see and admire! Beautiful necklace, and beautiful photos!!!! Love coin jewellery!
Preethi,
I think you have solved the puzzle as to the origin of your necklace! Congratulations.
I am sending another comment to your inbox. Thanks for sharing the photos that show a Northern/Western European man in profile on the coins.
