Taxes included.

A deeply personal and intimate antique 19th-century baby milk tooth pendant, set into an unmarked but professionally tested 14ct gold mount. Pieces such as this were often kept as sentimental keepsakes, preserving a tangible connection to childhood and family history, making them among the most evocative forms of antique jewellery. Any natural colouring present on the tooth is likely the result of the child’s diet, a common and entirely authentic feature in early keepsake pieces of this kind.

Small in scale yet rich in meaning, it has a raw, honest presence that reflects its original purpose as a private memento rather than an ornamental jewel. A rare survival and a powerful reminder of the deeply personal stories carried by Victorian keepsakes.
