This necklace is something I actually made several years ago, using some silver chain, a couple of jump rings and this stunning silver and enamel focal piece. I found it at a local boot fair for £2.50. The dragonfly and flower design is typical of the Art Nouveau period, and this is borne out by the hallmark – London 1898. The maker’s initials are PJB – no idea who that was (any information gratefully received). I have no idea what the focal piece was originally used for – whether it was jewellery or an ornament of some kind. The enamel is – to put it politely – knackered, but it it still looks stunning and in its new incarnation as a necklace, is one of my favourite pieces to wear.
