Piccadilly Necklace - Victorian

Taking inspiration from their 200 year old history, YARD-O-LED have reimagined Samson Mordan’s original pencil necklace from the 1800s. The sterling silver phial holds a graphite pencil, carefully enclosed within the screw top lid which is unwound to double its length creating a full sized writing instrument. The Piccadilly Necklace reflects the brand’s roots in sterling silver jewellery which Sampson Mordan is so revered for. The classically British silversmith, Sampson Mordan [1790 - 1834] created intricate designs, many with whimsical eccentricities. The YARD-O-LED story dates back to his invention of the first propelling pencil. Prior to this, he manufactured more simple designs with graphite pencils or mechanical pencils with singular retractable lead. The Piccadilly Necklace is compact at 2 inches long and hung on a sterling silver chain. The sterling silver barrel is hallmarked and topped and tailed in a brass trim. Hand-chased traditional Victorian pattern with Topaz Gem set. It comes with 2 pencil refills. *Pattern may differ on each pencil due to the handmade nature of the product*
