1904 SONS OF ENGLAND ROYAL BLUE DEGREE JEWEL

THE COMPLETE JEWEL CONSISTS OF A TOP, SHIELD SHAPED SUSPENDER. THIS IS MARKED ON THE BACK "925" AND S.A.M. (925 BEING THE HALLMARK FOR SILVER). NO OTHER MARKINGS ON THIS TOP SUSPENDER. (SEE PICTURES)

THE CENTRE MAIN JEWEL CONSISTS OF DIFFERENT PARTS FUSED TOGETHER. ON THE FRONT IS A BRITISH LION STANDING ON TOP OF A QUEENS CROWN.

THIS IS THEN STANDING ABOVE AN OVAL SHAPED BEAUTIFULLY ENAMELED RED CROSS FILLED IN ON THE SIDES WITH FLAWLESS WHITE ENAMEL. ON TOP OF THE RED CROSS IS THREE SILVER LIONS. (PLEASE SEE PICTURES)

SURROUNDING THE OVAL CENTRE IS A RIBBON STYLED OUTER BAND WITH THE WORDS "SONS OF ENGLAND" "ROYAL BLUE DEGREE" "1904" ALL THIS IS SURROUNDED BY FLAWLESS BLUE AND WHITE ENAMEL. (SEE PICTURES). THE CENTRE JEWEL IS ALSO MARKED "925" "S.A.M"

BELOW THE CENTRE JEWEL IS A SMALLER ROUND ATTACHMENT SEEMINGLY MADE OF SILVER BUT UNMARKED. IT IS COVERED WITH A LARGE WHITE ENAMEL ROSE, A SMALLER RED ENAMEL ROSE, SSEVERAL VERY SMALL BLUE FLOWERS AND SEVERAL GREEN LEAVES. THIS ENAMEL WORK IS VERY THIN AND IT LOOKS AS IF THERE MIGHT BE SOME COLOUR MISSING AT SOME SPOTS BUT I AM NOT SURE WHETHER THIS WAS MADE THAT WAY OR IF IT IS ENAMEL DAMAGE.

OVERALL LENGTH OF THE COMPLETE JEWEL WITHOUT RIBBON 13CM

THIS IS A VERY VERY LOVELY PEACE AND IT IS IN GREAT CONDITION. CLEARLY WELL LOOKED AFTER.

THE RIBBON IS OF ROYAL BLUE AND IS COMPLETE WITH CLIPS ON BOTH ENDS FOR WEARING.
