Large Heavy Gem Cabochon Enamel Franco Chain Choker Necklace Carnelian Malachite
About the Item
This stunning vintage necklace draws inspiration from Byzantine artistry and runway haute couture, featuring a bold carnelian cabochon at its center, surrounded by three smaller carnelians. The pendant is further enhanced with four vibrant malachite stones, a warm tiger’s eye, and four deep purple gemstones, likely dyed quartz, creating a striking mix of colors and textures reminiscent of Mogul-inspired jewelry.
The intricate heavy gold plated pendant is framed with rich enamel detailing in deep red and purple hues, evoking elements of ancient regal designs and architectural motifs. Its shape is both bold and timeless, reflecting influences from Middle Eastern, Renaissance, and Baroque aesthetics. The substantial Franco chain with its rounded, interwoven links adds a modern touch to this vintage piece, while its 97.8-gram weight underscores its high-quality craftsmanship.
Given its quality, this necklace may have been custom-made by a high-end European designer or artisan. The absence of a maker's mark suggests it could be a bespoke piece or part of a limited boutique collection.
Size: The large pendant is 3" tall x 2-1/8" wide. The chain is 31-1/2" long.
Weight: 97.9 grams.
Materials: Heavy gold plated metal, enamel and gemstones.
Condition: Very good condition with little to no gold wear.
