Antique 15K Gold Montana Sapphire Necklace c. 1890

There are jewels, and then there are masterpieces—those rare creations that capture light, movement, and an era’s artistry in a single breathtaking piece. This resplendent Montana sapphire necklace, with its cascading chains and golden flourishes, is one such treasure. A symphony of cool, twilight-blue sapphires dances along delicate golden links, leading the eye toward the centerpiece: a magnificent, luminous sapphire set within swirling gold motifs, reminiscent of Art Nouveau’s organic grace. Suspended below, a drop of carefully graduated sapphires adds the perfect finishing touch, catching the light with every turn.

Handcrafted around 1890, this 15 inch cascading necklace holds an impressive 40.23 carats of Montana sapphires across 27 stones. The largest, central sapphire measures 10.2 x 10.2 x 6.4 mm, while the remaining gems range from 4.5 mm to 7.7 mm in diameter. The intricate centerpiece drop spans 68.5 mm in height and 41.6 mm in width, creating a stunning focal point. These magnificent stones are set in and confirmed by testing, 15-karat gold, with a clasp marked 9ct. The necklace weighs a luxurious 24.2 grams.

An heirloom worthy of admiration, this necklace carries the essence of a gilded age—an era of beauty, craftsmanship, and elegance that lingers on, waiting for its next grand moment.
