Victorian 15k Nautilus Shell Charm
Victorian, circa 1870, finely detailed Nautilus shell charm with glass locket. Seashells were adored by Victorians. These are rare and collectible. There is some tiny denting and wear (mostly right around the glass compartment), which is to be expected due to age and the hollow construction. The Nautilus is associated with transformation and growth. As a nautilus shell grows, it does so in direct proportion to its needs, spiraling in perfect geometry.
shell is 15k gold, hollow
bail is marked 375 for 9 carat and is a slightly different color, but not really noticeable.
