15 carat natural turquoise necklace from the Arts and Crafts era
The Arts and Crafts period coincided with Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods and differs to the two by having more of a naturalistic look to it, and here is a very attractive turquoise necklace from the Arts and Crafts era. Hand made in 15 carat rose gold, the necklace is set with natural turquoise displaying the host matrix running through the stone. More often than not, turquoise today is dyed to completely remove this natural vein running through the stone making these two pieces so much more attractive and unique. This works perfectly with the overall design of the piece and adds so much more charm and character than jewellery that it mass produced today. The main part measures 21.7mm across by 61.5mm from the lower piece of turquoise to the top gold section that is connected to the chain, and laid out from end to end the chain itself measures 48cm in length, allowing the turquoise section to sit perfectly on the neckline. This is a perfect piece of jewellery that can so easily be dressed up or down depending on the occasion and will always be loved and admired. Stock# ES8832 Circa: 1900 $3,900
