This is a little memento from my Great Grandma.  This necklace was given
 to her by her father my Great Great Grandfather on her 16th birthday, 
August 21 1889.  

I think the stones are garnets or rubys.  Somewhere I saw that this style necklace was common around the civil war.
 
 
Wow so steam punk!
ReplyDeleteI hadn't thought about it like that but it sorta is, isn't it.
