About this necklace
Vibrant, vivid, brilliant, resplendent. These are just some of the adjectives that try their best to describe the gorgeous and gloriously apple-green stones in this exquisite 19th century necklace. Forty-five electrifying demantoid garnets--very rare and originally found in the Ural mountains of Russia--glow all along a wreath-like chain, dotted with old mine-cut diamonds, that transitions to diamond-set links, which connect to a cluster clasp of diamonds and a single garnet. The irrepressibly colorful and sparkling necklace culminates in a dangle-centered openwork diamond and garnet drop, topped by a lovely bow 'knotted' by a bright .30 carat old mine-cut. A remarkable, ravishing and collectible jewel. From France, circa 1890. Total diamond weight - 3.24 carats, total demantoid garnet weight - 3.25 carats. Hand fabricated in darkened silver over 18K gold, it measures just over 15 1/2 inches.
