Nice ORIGINAL mid-Victorian era Whitby Jet necklace with boy with two doves. It’s porcelain center with a design not sure if hand painted or transfer or both. Some very small chips around the edge.
These plaques were made in Austria and sent to Whitby, England, to be mounted in jet for jewelry. Dates from 1860-1880. The Gypsy Boy was a very popular romantic image by the 1860's, his story likely was made popular by Charles Dickens story of Oliver Twist. A vagabond in Victorian England was a wanderer or a tramp. This was the time of poor houses and although sad, this was a romantic tale indeed. You see brooches, pendants, earrings, and even pieces of bracelets with this painted motif in all types of settings from Whitby Jet to gold
