Victorian Whitby Jet mourning necklace with portrait plaque, c1900
This is a necklace comprising Whitby Jet round and flat beads with a pendant that is mounted with a central ceramic portrait plaque.

The necklace has been later restrung on black cotton and is knotted between the beads.| Size: | Necklace 42cm in length, Pendant 5.5cm x 4cm |
| Weight: | 39.75gm |
| Date: | 1880s |
| Condition: | Very good condition; the necklace later restrung |
| Estimate: | £100 – 150 |
