To the centre of the chain is the traditional double drop, in this case also a gold capped Nephrite panel, terminating in a 9ct T-bar with John Grisnell & Sons stamp and 9/375.
The second drop features a period Masonic fob in 9ct rose gold, by the maker - William James Dingley, Warstone Lane, Birmingham. (This Masonic fob could easily be removed and you favourite locket or pendant could be added).
