Gorgeous 1800s Antique Wirework Cameo Necklace - $125 - (Fleetwood, PA)

This is a beautiful delicate wirework necklace with 3 cameos. The necklace measures 19" from end to end. The largest drop in the front center measures 1 1/2" long x about 1" wide. The center cameo measures 7/8" long x 1/2" wide. The wirework looks like it was handmade and seems to be copper with gold plating. It has a darkened patina. Some of the plating is worn especially around the settinsg with the cameos. The chain is mostly good, but the links are swirls and 2 or 3 are a bit bent or untwisted. It looks like 2 jump rings holding the center drop have been replaced. In my opinion, the necklace is from the 1860s or 1870s judging from the star motif. Please let me know if you need any additional information. From a non-smoking home. Thank you.
