{"product_id":"late-victorian-turquoise-pomander-necklace","title":"Late Victorian Turquoise Pomander Necklace","description":"\u003cp\u003eRad! A perforated orb is studded with turquoise cabochons, like the head of a very chic mace. It looks a lot like earlier pomanders, popular in the Renaissance for holding medicinal perfumes and oils. In later centuries, vinaigrettes did a similar job - keeping malodorous air away from upper-class noses. By 1900, though, when this piece was made and patented (in Birmingham, as the hallmarks tell us), I don't know exactly what someone would have put inside. Patent medicine, maybe? In the 21st century, you can keep your emergency klonopin close at hand. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMATERIALS: 9k gold (marked), turquoise cabochons, new 14k gold chain\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAGE: Birmingham assay marks for 1900\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCONDITION: Very good - minor surface wear commensurate with age and use, stamped Reg[istere]d No 368291\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSIZE: 1\" length including the bale, 3\/4\" diameter, 18\" chain\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52391960281370,"sku":"N3078","price":2150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0156\/5502\/files\/N3078-1.jpg?v=1782327839","url":"https:\/\/checkout.ericaweiner.com\/products\/late-victorian-turquoise-pomander-necklace","provider":"Erica Weiner LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
