This very rare ivory opera token is from the Georgian era and once belonged to Samuel Lyons de Symons (1789-1860), an Ashkenazi Jew from London who was a relative of the diamond merchant Baron Lyon de Symons. This token was issued to him for the 1823 season in Haymarket at The Kings Theatre, and it is ready to be adorned on your neck with its 14k gold jump ring already affixed.

Jane Austen notoriously collected opera tokens, pierced the top and wore them on a bracelet. Elizabeth Taylor famously followed suit and collected antique opera tokens to wear as a necklace, which soon ensued massive popularity and rarity.

Materials: 14k gold jump ring and ivory.

Measurements: 35mm in height (measurement does not include jump ring measurement).
