Antique French necklace in gold and platinum
Here is an absolutely incredible antique necklace that is truly a one of a kind and of the finest quality and craftsmanship.

And then there is the use of platinum giving it an additional pure white colour in the elegant wreath design as well as the oyster shell design.
In each of the oyster shells is a pearl which exemplifies the thought and attention that went into making this magnificent necklace all those years ago.
