In the same vein as the surrounding hair bands, this piece is c1890 and carries a single pearl (tear).
Hair Reveal
Note the undulating gold design around the band revealing panels of hair underneath and the the way that they are tied together, leading towards the pearl on top. Simple and elegant, the late 19th century took great care with the fine details, regardless of being higher or lower end pieces.
Being widely prolific throughout the world, this band has its origins outside of Britain as it doesn’t carry the correct hallmarks, but these were widely produced along the Continent and especially in the United States.
