History

Inherited from Grandmother 5 years ago

Long Description and Pictures (jpg, gif, png)

I inherited this necklace 5 years ago when my Grandmother passed. Family lore is that my Grandfather got it when he was logging in Alaska during the 1930's. I'm not sure if he panned for the gold and had the necklace made, or if he purchased it himself. I have always been curious about this piece and would welcome any information on it. I would also like to know what I should be insuring the piece for.

 

Thanks for your help!!!
