1890's Victorian Sterling & Amethyst Necklace

An incredible piece circa 1890. Done with thick sterling silver settings looped in abstract curls and baubles. Each amethyst is set beautifully, with open backs so the line shines through and it sparkles beautifully. Such a neat composition with brutalist styled tooling next to such large faceted cabochons. Pairs well with a shift dress for a party or even a collared shirt for a meeting.

Measurements are as follows: 

Length: 15.5"

Length of middle pendant: 2.25"

Condition: Very Good - The vintage piece is considered wearable but

has some small surface flaws. The piece has a few asymmetrical features that could be original to the piece. One is the small taller loop at top, the other is the chain on one side has two of the "flower links" together on one, and on the other side it's interspersed with a swirl. It is even in length, so this may be original. The other is that there is a divet out of filigree edge on both sides, and they are slightly different shapes. Priced accordingly, though much of this may be original.
