Antique Victorian black genuine jet star initials gold wire wrapped pendant

100% authentic carved and polished jet, guaranteed! I can't say with certainty that this jet was sourced in Whitby as it is quite soft but it has been polished to a beautiful outer sheen. Great condition, there are some cracks present as jet is a brittle and delicate material. Reversible pendant features a five-point star on one side and the initials SFB on the other. This style of carving/etching reached the height of its popularity around 1860-1870. Since jet will almost certainly break if drilled, these pieces were often carefully wrapped in wire. Has been strung onto a 14kt gold filled chain. Clasp functions perfectly. Please see photos for measurements.
