Divers Helmet Pendant

The diving helmet was an outgrowth of the diving bell.  The problem of supplying compressed air to divers was not solved until, in the early 1700's,
English astronomer Edmond Hally had casks of air hauled down to the diving bell where it was fed by hose to helmeted divers. 
In 1812 a helmet with pumped air was introduced and the helmet and suit became the standard diving dress.

Solid Silver

The stunning craftsmanship of this divers helmet is astounding.  It is correct in every detail, from hoses to nuts on the chest-plate all in a matt finish.   
A beautiful piece that will be treasured by the owner.
