An Amethyst Rivière Necklace
Late 19th Century

the thirty-one chain linked graduated oval cut amethysts, in yellow collet settings

length 40cm

Sold for £1,700
Estimated at £300 - £500


 

The necklace is in good condition commensurate with age. The amethysts are open backed and there is slight zoning visible along with natural inclusions. The largest amethyst measures 11.88mm x 8.35mm x 6.35mm approximately. It fastens with a tongue and box catch and features a safety chain. It bears no hallmark nor stamp but in our opinion would test as gold. Gross weight 24.3 grams. CR made 19.11.21.
