Antique Gold Ouroboros Snake Mourning Locket Brooch Paste Jewellery The necklace is not hallmarked

The necklace is not hallmarked but tests as silver and is most likely English in origin

There is a black thread woven around the top of the brass seal to ensure it remains secure in its fixture

Due to the busy design of the buckle the damage is not noticeable and the buckle remains in good antique condition

The stone is claw set into a filigree metal frame that has been layered over a black base highlighting the stone perfectly

I believe this necklace is a marriage of two pieces with the chain slightly predating the pendant but they match perfectly so it has been kept as is
