Product Information
Product code: ES9683 Categories: Sold Items, Sold Jewellery.The colour of the amethyst combined with the charming seed pearls and the design of the necklace, all comes together to create a gorgeous necklace that looks as beautiful today as when it was made over 110 years ago.
Made in 9 carat rose gold that compliments both the amethysts and the seed pearls perfectly, the design is just so wonderful to admire from near or far and will be the perfect necklace to wear to any occasion.
Laid out from end to end, the necklace measures 49cm and from the pearl set section at the top to the lowest amethyst, this distance measures 4.5cm.
The design allows it to sit so elegantly around the neck with each of the side amethysts sitting marginally higher than the centre one, and the length of the necklace lets it fall and sit perfectly across the neckline.
Made by Joseph Lawrence, an early Australian jeweller, not only is this necklace so beautiful, but made by one of Australia’s early jewellers makes it that much more exciting.
