About the Item
A beautiful and high-quality antique necklace crafted in 18 karat gold, weighing an impressive 69.7 grams. The necklace measures 405 mm in length and is designed as a richly decorated chain suspending a series of ornate circular medallions. Each medallion is embellished with intricate granulation and rope-work details, from which delicate gold chains and diamond-shaped drops elegantly dangle, creating a sense of movement and brilliance when worn.
The reverse of each medallion is stamped with an 18K gold hallmark, confirming its authenticity and precious metal content.
Provenance and History
This type of design, with its elaborate medallion and fringe motif, draws inspiration from Etruscan Revival jewelry, a style highly fashionable in the mid to late 19th century, especially during the Victorian period. Inspired by ancient Roman and Etruscan goldsmithing techniques, these jewels were prized for their opulence, granulated detailing, and archaeological aesthetic. Such pieces were often worn as statement jewels by women of status, reflecting both cultural interest in antiquity and the height of 19th-century craftsmanship.
