Green Garnet & 22k Gold Faerie Festoon Necklace

An exquisite dream in green and gold, this 19th-century high-karat gold and green garnet festoon necklace is truly breathtaking. A central medallion of elaborately worked 22k gold displays a cluster of delicate flowers. The green garnet sits at its heart, sparkling amidst the blossoms. A single gold flower dangles from the medallion's base. A chain composed of cannetille and floral links forms graceful swags that drape over the collarbone. This piece dates to very early in Queen Victoria's reign and is a Faerie jewel for certain. Circa 1840.

Details.....The necklace is 18.5" long, and the centerpiece measures 1.26" wide by 2.15" long, including the flower dangle. In Very Good Antique Condition. You should always expect some wear on your vintage and antique jewels; we consider it part of their charm.
