Victorian Enameled Amethyst Rose Cut Diamond Gold Festoon Necklace

About the Item

An elaborate amethyst necklace from the Victorian period (ca1880)! This magnificent piece is crafted in 14kt yellow gold, and has a very decorative festoon design. There are 8 amethyst beads interspersed throughout the piece, each with a multi-faceted surface and gorgeous natural purple hue. Wrapped around the necklace are strands of fine woven chain, which dangle gold spears from the base. Each spear head has a black enamel border and is lined with delicate rose cut diamonds, adding a lovely sparkle! At the back of the piece is a strand of chain that fastens with a simple gold spring ring clasp. A spectacular example of fine Victorian era jewelry, this outstanding necklace drapes beautifully at the neckline and has quite a spectacular, dramatic effect when worn. It is a perfect statement piece for special occasions, and would make a magnificent addition to any collection! Measurements: The necklace measures about 18.5" long from end to end. The center festoon strand drapes approximately 2 1/4" long in the middle. The largest amethyst bead measures 17mm in size, and the smallest measures 8mm. The gold spears measure between 1/2" to 3/4" in length.
