Victorian 14K Gold Graduated Fringe Necklace

About the Item

This 14k gold fringe necklace encapsulates the essence of romantic jewelry from the Victorian era. Graduated elongated drops topped with round spheres dangle from the 15” necklace. The gorgeous surface of the gold is what is known as a bloom finish--a technique used in the Victorian era to dip gold jewelry into acid to burn off all other metals near the gold’s surface. While this necklace is 14k gold, the outside layer is closer to 20k and gives off the warm buttery glow of a high karat gold. What we love about fringe necklaces is their lovely movement that catches the light so beautifully. The necklace measures 15”, and the drops range in size from 7/8” to 1/2”. The piece weighs 20.5 grams. It is in near perfect condition, with a barrel clasp at the top. Unmarked but acid tests as 14k gold. Circa 1890 - 1900.

14K Gold Victorian Rose Cut Diamond Drop Necklace with Bow
Located in Venice, CA
At the focal point of this elegant Victorian-era drop necklace are three antique diamonds suspended from a bow and navette shaped bar. The diamonds are Dutch rose cut, with layers of facets cut by hand, making each diamond one-of-a-kind with its own unique way of reflecting light. The largest, bottom diamond appears round, and the diamonds descend in size, with the middle and top diamond taking a more oval shape. The necklace has a 14k gold back and a silver front—a traditional way of mounting jewelry in the Victorian era. The beautiful diamonds rest in a silver backing, so the stones catch the light and reflect it brilliantly. The diamonds are topped by a bow, which contains seven smaller rose-cut diamonds, surrounded by millegrain details that add subtle texture. A transitional bar connects the bow to the teardrop section, and features an eighth diamond set in a navette shaped mount. The bow, navette, and diamond trio are articulated, so there is lots of movement while worn, adding to piece’s elegance. The necklace is circa 1890’s.
