Presented in its original velvet and satin-lined box, this set would make a fabulous gift of love and luck.
The lid of the box is marked ''A present from The Shipperies, Liverpool 1886''. The Shipperies was a Liverpool pub established in 1886 and believed to have been built as a lodging house for visitors to the neighbouring Shipperies International Exhibition of Navigation, Travelling, Commerce and Manufacture that same year. A little piece of history!
• Condition: Excellent antique condition, the pieces look as though they may not have left the box in the past 135 years. The silver has a wonderful patina, you could polish it to a higher shine if you prefer but this kind of finish only comes once in a lifetime.
• Fixing: Ear wires, C clasp.
• Hallmarks/stamps: None, test as sterling silver.
• Era: Victorian, 1886.
• Brooch size: 2.8cm diameter.
• Earrings size: 1.3cm diameter, 2.2cm drop.
• Combined weight (not including box): 9.0g.

Bear in mind photos are very magnified and flaws which can be seen in the pictures are often imperceptible to the naked eye in real life. I always do my very best to point out any additional flaws, but please look carefully at all the photos as they are an important part of the listing and do ask if you have any questions!
