Circa 1800, this beautiful antique Georgian natural baroque pearl strand necklace showcases a silver flower shaped pendant set in old table-cut diamonds and rare 'dog tooth' shaped pearls.
The necklace comprises of a strand of antique chubby oval shaped freeform pearls that fasten with a silver bolt ring clasp. The central pendant crafted in sterling silver is inlaid in old cut natural earth-mined diamonds and features long tapered pearls that are pegged into silver cone shaped cups. A single gold bead accents the top of the pendant. All the pearls are exquisite, completely natural and a lustrous creamy shade of ivory.
The pearl strand has been restrung with silk necklace thread at some point during its long life, all the pearls are beautifully matched in both colour and lustre so it is possible the strand and pendant are original to each other. The silk is hand knotted in between each pearl and it is reinforced with silver French wire at each side of the clasp.
Feminine and beautifully proportioned this Georgian pearl necklace is a true antique treasure and heirloom worthy! More photos on our website at www.mercymadge.com
