Such a welcome and sumptuous surprise from 1905.
If you ever obtain an antique box, don't forget to check if the bottom of the interior lifts up. Some larger boxes were designed to sequester additional fittings. For underneath what was already an amazing find were added treasures.
Inside the main area of the box was draped the original gold chain, along with an amazing star motif pearl pendant & brooch as well as a removable matching bale.
Lifting up the velvet-fitted area revealed a number of goodies.
- The original metal trembler hairpin that screws on or off
- A gold safety chain with natural seed pearls
- Two British Empire Exhibition 1 penny stamps from 1924
- 12 tiny pink glass pink buttons
- A clipping entitled, "Make the Most of Every Chance"
See below for the entire verse; see photos for all
And what a jewel it is. A glorious, large-size, natural pearl star motif, lacy gold pendant can be worn as a brooch or as a hair adornment. Leave on the removable matching bale for slipping it on the paperclip chain.
Remove the fitting and twist on the *trembler* hairpin for an exceptional jewel.
Entirely original and in amazing condition, this was a gift from one to another, fully hand engraved and dated.

With the water that has passed.
