Unusual and beautiful Edwardian round sterling silver vesta case hallmarked London 1903. 

This elegant and slim vesta case is in great antique condition with some minor dents which add to its charm. It opens and closes perfectly. It would look fabulous worn on a silver chain layered with other pendants and necklaces or on a pearl necklace. Please see my Chains and Pearls collection for options. 

Vesta Cases were small portable boxes used to carry vestas (short matches) and were carried by men and women alike. So called after the name of one of the early makers (which was taken from the goddess Vesta, a Roman deity of fire and the hearth), they came into use around the 1830s and were produced extensively between 1890 and 1920. Worn today vesta cases become unique lockets to hold memories and mementos.

The vesta case is 4cm in diameter.

All Vonk Jewellery is presented in a gift box and pouch with luxe ribbon. If you would like a gift message included please message me at checkout.

Please note that this is the price for the vesta case only.
