Two teeth are better than one, at least on a necklace. A pair of teeth, catalogued as lion's teeth, are each capped in a gold mount with bright-cut engraving and hung from an oval cable chain hallmarked on the end links.
Mounted teeth like these were popular souvenirs of British travelers abroad, and the bright-cut caps catch the light nicely against the creamy teeth.
The Details
- Metal: 9k gold mounts and chain; one gold-filled replacement link
- Stones: Two teeth catalogued as lion; material untested
- Marks: Hallmarked on chain links at ends
- Length: 19 3/4 in (50.2 cm), open
- Weight: Approx. 7.59 grams excluding gold-filled link; chain alone 2.32 grams
- Condition: Good. Chain repaired with one gold-filled link; minor wear to gold. Teeth with old splits down the middles, one with small loss to tip.
