EXCELLENT: This solid English Sterling Silver vesta case pendant is in fantastic condition. The case has kept its shape well over the years, still exuding its handsome demeanor, and all of the vertical lines are intact. This case has also accrued a natural antique Patina, animating each fine detail and giving this a moody feel. The English hallmarks allow us to confidently date this to the Victorian era, but the style can easily fit into modern fashions. We love this piece and you will too!
