Quick Overview

"Be careful not to show your ankles, however pretty they are" is a quote from an 1888 etiquette book.

Knowing what was considered proper etiquette was taken very seriously in the Victorian era. The formal language and strict rules of social interaction in etiquette books are sometimes reminscent of a romantic Jane Austen novel.

This necklace is a charming glimpse into how fashions and society have changed since the Victorian times and will no doubt raise a smile for the wearer and all the curious people who will want to read it :).
