    This dual-purpose jewel combines Victorian sensibility with Edwardian refinement, evident in the quality of the carving, diamond setting, and selection of natural pearls. The piece is hallmarked with the French owl and swan marks, indicating imported 18kt gold and silver, and is likely Continental in origin. A statement antique jewel, elegant in scale and execution.
