Six-pointed stars are stamped into every link, framed by an inner row of shiny silver beads and an outer fringe of scalloped leaves, delicately chased with forget-me-not blossoms. The design culminates in a detachable Y-drop, finished with two substantial bolt-ring clasps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eMade during the height of the Victorian Aesthetic Movement, circa 1880, this striking silver collar and its signature spring ring would originally have suspended a treasured portrait locket or pocket watch, resting close to the wearer’s heart.
