Georgian Gold & Foiled Amethyst Riviere Necklace

307S
440 Admirers Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

An impressive 15ct gold and amethyst riviere necklace that was made circa 1820. The assorted amethysts have been pinched collet set in substantial 15ct gold cupped settings and are foiled to the reverse. This has the desired effect of giving depth and luminosity to the stones and lovely subtle colours from lilac to pink tones. We have some amethyst earrings that go with this riviere if wanted. At present the length is 46.5cm as chain has been added but we can have this shortened if wanted

Ollys Pick

I love that the amethysts are not all the perfect size and shape and the aged foiling.
