Gold and Diamond Bracelet and a Gold and Pearl Necklace, 19th Century

The hinged bangle bracelet set at the front with old mine diamonds within star motifs weighing approximately 2.00 carats, gross weight approximately 45 dwts., internal circumference 6¾ inches; the textured gold fancy link necklace supporting a locket set at the front with a small pearl measuring approximately 3.4 mm., and small split pearls, the reverse engraved with a monogram, gross weight approximately 36 dwts., locket with glazed compartment, length 16 inches.

The bracelet and the pendant necklace are both 20 karat gold with good heft. BRACELET: Hinged on one side for easy wear, would best fit a small to medium-sized wrist. The gold is slightly tarnished and scratched due to wear and age, but it is in good condition overall. The old-mine diamonds are all approximately G to H color, VS to SI clarity. NECKLACE: The pendant has discoloration around the center motif, and some light to moderate scratching due to age. The pearls are all intact and are a pretty creamy white color, with some light pastel overtones. In good condition overall.
