This eye-catching antique Edwardian era lariat necklace is beautifully made in an iconic Art Nouveau design. Crafted in .800 silver (a grade of silver commonly used in Europe during the early 20th century) it boasts beautifully ornate chain links that join at the front in a vibrant blue lapis lazuli bead. Suspended below is a long pendant drop embossed in oxalis leaves and set with a briolette cabochon of lapis that is delicately sprinkled in white calcite and shimmering specks of pyrite. A shepherd's hook clasp adds to her antique character and appeal.
A beautiful Art Nouveau necklace through and through, with all of her incredible detailing she is the perfect antique statement piece!
