Victorian Pinchbeck Rhinestone & Turquoise Buckle Necklace Camphor Jewelry 5" in circumferenceMake a statement wearing this stunning Victorian pendant! This Victorian oval pendant features alternating rhinestone and turquoise stones set in pinchbeck metal. Pinchbeck is a form of brass, an alloy of copper and zinc, mixed in proportions so that it closely resembles gold in appearance. This type of jewelry was invented in the 18th century by Christopher Pinchbeck, a London clockmaker. We have added this pendant to a 18 inch paperclip chain.
