Antique Victorian Amethyst Necklace circa 1898 to 1901




A most stunning necklace…. 
This is one of those wonderful, rare, and very romantic Victorian necklaces. It dates to circa 1898 to 1901 and has strong art nouveau design influences. 
Obviously, this piece has been treasured for well over a century in time…. The necklace is beautifully handcrafted and genuine gold-washed. It features 15 genuine, multi-faceted amethyst stones that delicately catch the light. They are all original to the necklace and were carefully, individually mounted in bezel settings. 
The necklace literally drapes around the neck. The articulation to the overall design is marvelous. The choker styled necklace measures approximately 16.75 inches or about 42.5 cm.
