1830's jewelry

Besides pearls, can anyone tell me what necklace and earring styles were popular in the 1830's at the hight of the big sleeve movement? I can't really find anything online that gives me any idea. Send me image links, please, if you know of any!

Many thanks!

A back issues of Piecework magazine, May/June 2000, has an article on beaded watch chains, which were a brief fad in the 30s, and were sometimes twined in hair, and draped around necks. http://www.interweave.com/needle/piecework_magazine/back_issues/05-00.asp shows a watch chain on the cover. They are actually fairly quick to make up on a cheap bead loom, as the rows are only 8 or ten beads across, IIRC.

Thanks! That's a cool watch chain.
