Victorian Vauxhall Glass Guard Chain

876G
634 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

An attractive long chain composed of faceted glass beads. It was made circa 1880 when Queen Victoria was in heavy mourning for Prince Albert and set a fashion for black jewellery. This material is sometimes called French jet which is somewhat confusing as it is not jet. However it is shinier than jet and tougher and was a very popular alternative.
