A Victorian silver foxtail Albertina set with two banded sardonyx stone stations, the decorative ladies' style.

A multi-strand foxtail Albertina in silver with two banded sardonyx stones set in silver collets along its length. It weighs 32.9 grams and measures 28cm, with a dog clip at one end and a spring ring at the other, each on a short length of cable chain. The stones are secure with no chips, the foxtail strands supple and intact, and the dog clip and spring ring both work. An even patina throughout, the spring ring a later replacement.
