The torpedo shape is covered with tiny antique seed pearls, interspersed with diamond beads secured with 18 carat gold wire. The diamonds catch the light and there are more hanging from the end.

I think the pearls were sometimes used as a necklace to wear over a baby’s christening gown. They are hard to find and hard to work with being so very small.
