About the Item
Victorian-era rivière necklace featuring a combination of amethyst, citrine, and rock crystal stones, each bezel-set in 9k gold. The necklace is composed of 17 oval-cut gemstones, connected by a double strand of gold chain work typical of mid-to-late 19th-century jewelry design. At the center is a detachable pendant with an arrangement of teardrop-shaped stones in varying sizes, designed to function as a focal element or to be removed for alternative wear. The necklace closes at the back with a clasp set with an oval faceted rock crystal. This collarette-style piece reflects period-specific design and materials commonly associated with Victorian jewelry, including the use of colorful gemstones and symmetrical, articulated construction. Rivières were often worn by women of the upper and middle classes as formal evening adornments, symbolizing status, refinement, and the fashion sensibilities of the era.

Early 1900s 9K Gold “Man in the Moon” Carved Glass Brooch with Paste Halo
Located in San Francisco, CA
An early 1900s 9k gold brooch featuring a carved glass “Man in the Moon” face, backed with mother-of-pearl to create a soft, luminous effect. The dome sits within a border of hand-set paste stones, a typical construction for celestial-themed jewelry from this period. At 1" x 1", it is a compact piece with a distinctive presence.
The carved moon face displays subtle iridescence that shifts depending on the angle of the light, achieved through the combination of translucent glass over a natural mother-of-pearl layer. The brooch retains its original early 20th-century pinback.
