Why a "visiting" necklace, you ask? Polite Victorian society had a strict code of behavior that governed in-person visits. Before the telephone, going to see a friend didn't mean dropping by without notice nor on a day that wasn't specifically a "calling" day. It was also expected that visitors were dressed appropriately. Those looking for courtship sought to blend a visit with this more personal objective. A lady receiving a preferred gentleman caller would be carefully groomed and might have worn a sparkly necklet, as it was called, to draw attention to her physical beauty.
