The necklace is made up of silver belcher chain with a large bolt ring to which a silver locket is attached. The locket is marked with the sterling lion passant marks as well as the hallmark for Birmingham; the date letter for 1881, and the maker’s mark GCH & Co for GC Haseler. The chain is unmarked but is probably somewhat contemporary with the locket. The bolt ring is marked “Sterling” and is of a later date.
