Antique pearl drop necklace made by Duggin, Shappere and Co
This antique necklace is so elegant and sits perfectly on the neckline where it will always be admired and appreciated for its beauty and elegance and is all the more special as it was made by one of Australia's most highly regarded early jewellers Duggin, Shappere and Co. Made in 15 carat gold in the early 1900's, the cluster of pearls at the bottom is so elegant and refined and even the "stem" leading to the top has been beautifully set with pearls that lead to the very top section where there is yet another grouping of pearls. The soft colour of the gold is a perfect match for the pearls, making this such a subtle yet elegant piece of jewellery to wear with pride. Measuring 41.5cm when laid out from end to end, the drop section measures 5.9cm and is perfect to wear all the time, especially for that special occasion. As beautiful and elegant today as when it was made over 100 years ago, this necklace will always be loved and admired. Stock #ES9352 Maker: Duggin, Shappere and Co Circa: 1910 $3,650

Antique natural pearl necklace made in the Victorian era
This antique necklace was made in the 1870's and is just spectacular from near or far. Typical of the work by early Australian jewellers, it was made in 15 carat gold that has achieved such a wonderful patina combined with beautiful work and detail to the gold itself. And then the necklace is highlighted with natural pearls. Whereas today pearls are produced by being cultured, these pearls are completely natural and this is made even more amazing by the fact that it is estimated that a natural pearl is produced in between 1 in 5,000 to 1 in 10,000 oysters. With a beautiful design of the chain draping elegantly along the necklace, this piece sits so beautifully on the neckline and will no doubt always be admired. Measuring 41cm when laid out from end to end, this is one of the most beautiful and elegant necklaces that you could ever hope to wear. Stock# ES9077 Circa: 1870 $6,950
