This "WZ" monogram is set in Victorian style, and is sourced from the book, Industrial Monograms, by Martin Gerlach of Vienna, Austria (1881). The very intricate detail behind the monogram gives this piece another level of interest. The bail was rolled into the back giving this piece a scroll-like appearance.

A Precious Memory

Laying aside her dressing gown, she reverently picked up her mourning dress. With a shudder, her shoulders collapsed in on themselves.  After a brief moment, she wiped her nose with a monogrammed handkerchief and straightened back up. She must be strong. Her family needed her now more than ever.  After 50 years of marriage, the rock of her family had passed. Even though it was only last week, she feels as though she has aged a year after losing her dear William.  As she makes her way to the awaiting carriage, she wonders if the jeweler she commissioned has completed the pendants containing William’s monogram. She, her daughter and her granddaughters will now carry the pendant in remembrance of a man who meant so much to so many people.
