It's not far away from that time of year! Yes, Halloween! And I have just acquired this beautiful spider necklace just in time
 
Dating from around 1880 - 1900, the spider is sitting in a gold circle, her elegant gold body and legs set with an old cut diamond for her body, and a natural pearl for her head.
 
The circle is suspended by two fine trace chains that meet at a gold ball which hangs from a gold trace chain.
 
The old cut diamond measures approx 5mm diameter
 
The gold circle/ring measures 25mm diameter
 
The drop from the ball to the bottom of the ring is 45mm
 
The spider measures 13mm x 16mm
 
weight 3.9g
 
gold - 18 carat
 
in excellent condition
