The silver floral motif resembles a bouquet of flowers wrapped with small 18k ties. The silver has a nice patina that contrasts the 18k gold bezels and wraps.

There’s a beautiful pearl centerpiece that measures 5mm and appears to be a natural pearl given its luminescence and age of the necklace. There are 12 rose cut diamonds measuring between 1.5 mm - 2 mm. 10 are bezel set and 2 are prong set, altogether having .15 total diamond carat weight. The emeralds have a beautiful deep green hue and measure 3mm each.

The centerpiece measures just under 1 1/2” in width by 1/2 and has a silver front and 18k gold back. The necklace measures 19 1/2 “ from end to end. The centerpiece is from the Victorian era and the 18K chain was added later. The gauge of the chain measures 2 mm.

The entire necklace weighs 11.2 grams, and the length from end to end is 19 1/2 ".

A stunning antique necklace, this piece would make a fantastic gift or addition to your jewelry collection!
