This method of hunting came from the East to the British Isles in the Middle Ages (around 800 AD) and was widely employed by all classes of people as a way of procuring food for the table from common property. As lands were increasingly privatized in the ensuing centuries, falconry became a sport exclusive to the upper classes and joined the ranks of elite pursuits such as archery and riding. This outstanding Victorian pendant was undoubtedly made for an aristocrat with an enthusiasm for the pastime. The garnet-eyed falcon is rendered in gold and silver and studded in turquoise pavé.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMATERIALS: 14k gold (tests), sterling silver, turquoise cabochons, 2 1.5mm cabochon garnets, new 14k gold chain\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAGE: c. 1880\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCONDITION: Very good\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSIZE: 1 1\/4\" length including the bale, 1\/4\" width, 18\" chain\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52633293816090,"sku":"N3115","price":2400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0156\/5502\/files\/N3115-1.jpg?v=1786527285","url":"https:\/\/checkout.ericaweiner.com\/products\/victorian-turquoise-garnet-falcon-necklace","provider":"Erica Weiner LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
