Victorian Necklace Amethyst and Amber 59" Sautoir
About the Item
This Victorian-era (circa 1880) silver, butterscotch amber, and amethyst sautoir is approximately 59" in length, allowing you to wear it as a long, dramatic statement necklace or wrapped once, twice, or several times around the neck for a more layered look. Each of the almond-shaped silver links has a circle in the center. Amber beads bookended by a pair of hand-carved natural amethyst beads are stationed along the length of the necklace. An amethyst pendant hangs from the silver fastener at the end. The amber beads measure approximately 9mm x 6mm and the amethyst beads are nearly 3mm in diameter.
I can find no maker's marks anywhere on the necklace so it's very difficult to give you an origin. It could be French, English, American, or Eastern European. The workmanship is excellent and the silver has a lovely pewter-like patina, earned over time.
The nearly-complimentary color palate is wonderful. Purple and butterscotch are perfect together, especially united by muted pewter.
This necklace is one-hundred-and-forty-years old. Yet it's completely perfect for our world, today. You'll stand-out on your next Zoom call with this unique, beautiful, and endlessly versatile necklace.

White Nephrite Jade Carved Fan Pendant
Located in Southbury, CT
An absolutely stunning, highly translucent white nephrite jade (mutton fat) hand-carved pendant. The 89.71 x 54.77mm pendant has been carved by a master lapidary artist to depict a folding paper fan. It's a wonderful and original idea; I've never seen another carving quite like it. And the white nephrite jade is so fine, it lends itself perfectly to being rendered as a fan; the high translucence makes the fan glow endlessly. The surface of the nephrite has almost a pearly sheen.
The fan features a simple silver bail and 24" silver chain.
This striking, luminous carved-from-the-moon fan...
