This is so nice! I present you with an antique lavalier necklace. This charming 9K Rose Gold (marked) English Arts & Crafts treasure dates from circa 1880 to 1890, the late Victorian period (hallmarked with the Victoria sovereign head).

The round-cut and pear-cut crystals, simulating aquamarines are paste "stones". The rich, ever-so-slightly-greenish-blue-blue sparkles and catches every nuance of light, to dazzle your eyes. These pastes are even enchanting in candlelight.

The top brilliant is mounted at the center of two chains. A pendant of geometric design swings from it and a drop suspended at the bottom adds the interest of motion to the piece.

The five pastes are mounted in mille grained bezels on a trellis of hand fabricated rose gold, interspersed with seven seed pearl accents. The closure at the center back of the chain is a tube and "V" spring clasp. The pendant is in wonderful condition with no repairs or damage except for a chip on the top of one of the smaller pastes. The rose gold glows with a colorful coppery patina.

This early Arts and Crafts necklace foretells of the Art Deco Period style with its geometric theme.
