Find Out MoreA rare necklace that was made circa 1840 in France. It has been set with a kaleidoscope of different gem stones with a long pear shaped aquamarine drop in the middle. This style is known as a Harlequin pattern because the rainbow effect of many colours was associated with the traditional costume of the Harlequin in the Italian Commedia dell’Arte. The claw set gem stones include amethysts, a carnelian, sapphires, aquamarines, topaz, pink topaz, citrines, and chrysophase. The stones are claw set with an attractive crown design. In between is a stylised anthemion design consisting of a number of radiating petals, developed by the ancient Greeks from the Egyptian and Asiatic form known as the honeysuckle or lotus palmette, and buds in 18ct gold. The chain is a flat link and leads to a clasp that mirrors the gold motifs in the necklace. A gorgeous necklace that looks amazing when worn.
We all love this unusual necklace.
