Description: The detail and clarity of style of these Stuart Crystal slides has to be seen to be believed, worked entirely by hand by master artisans.A fabulous, genuine 17th century Stuart Crystal slide; beautifully made from solid 18 carat gold. Under its beveled, polished rock crystal lies a superbly woven hair memento topped by a gold wire cypher depicting the initials 'CS'.My favourite aspect of this piece is the subtle double layering of the hair display - a highly detailed knotted cross over an even finer striated woven backing panel. It's a really fabulous detail that not only speaks to the skill and artistry of the hairworker, but adds interest and draws the eye - it gets better the closer you are!It dates from the mid-17th century and is in excellent, stable condition for its age, with solder strengthening to three corners where claws are missing, a nick to the crystal under the top right hand edge and an old repair to one slide arm. It weighs 2.3 grams and measures 19 x 14 mm overall. All my items are guaranteed 100% as described or your money back, so bid with confidence! What's more, I offer layaway deals so there's no need to let any of my listings slip through your fingers - just ask! If you like this one, click here to see my other items.
