Good Finds!
That first photo, looks like a LENS that is still intact!
If so, I suggest a pair of reading lens, or opera glasses....??

Congrats on the coin, as well....!

Thanks for all replies

 

[jewelerguy]

that's awesome. I'd date it to around 1890-1900

Victorian ladies monocle or magnifying glass pendant, would be my thought. It's definitely cool....

What a cool find.
It would most probably have been carried by a lady of Victorian times on her chatelaine. Eidt: Or even more likely as a pendant as Nola_Ken advised.

I definitely looks like a loop but can't tell how thick it is without another pic of the side. It is the same size as the fractional gold (Tiny) so opera glasses are out. To be a loop it needs to have 2 lenses so if only one lens it is a magnifying glass. Did you dig this? It looks to nice. If dug I would say has good gold content?

Cheers all

It looks as though the gold piece could have been held in it maybe it was to show off the gold piece?Since you found together had you tried to see if the piece fit in the loop and if the gold piece has indentations where it could have been mounted to it.

Is the loop hallmarked cause if it came out of the ground looking like that, it might be platinum? HH

Yes was dug , an has one lens. I'd say gold content is 9 to 10 k , its made very well .

Can't find a hallmark , on it might be custom piece has a lot of tooling to metal

 

[Broken knee]

It looks like silver in your pic? The engraving on it is what makes me think it's platinum have it tested. HH

Can you show a side view of the piece with the magnifying glass,It might go inside the piece it might spin and could be another lens in the piece .Just a thought.
