How many secrets does such a pendant hold? How it must have glittered in the low candlelight during the night time balls of the early 1800s. Did it grace the neck of a nervous young woman, waiting her turn for a dance? Featuring delicate silver work, foil backing, and antique black dot paste it is a beautiful example of the craftsmanship of the era.
