About the Item

This beautifully fine necklace is made in Victorian times and created in warm 18 karat gold and set with turquoise cabochon stones. The necklace is created with three dome pavé turquoise circular pendants surrounded by gold beading and set with a dangling cone. The overall design reflects the ornate and refined craftsmanship characteristic of the Victorian era, combining opulence with a timeless appeal. The necklace is provided with a push pin closure and safety chain which are are all secure and in good working order. The necklace is in very good condition and of high quality. With normal surface wear of age and use. The length of the necklace measures 43 centimeters and has a nice heavy weight.
