Here is a breathtaking antique riviere that dates from the 1870's and is destined to not only become a much loved and treasured family heirloom, but one that will make any woman walk tall and proud with this around her neck and make her feel like true royalty.
Made in 15 carat gold, even the setting of the amethysts is so intricate and beautiful to admire and shows the time and quality that went into making this fabulous piece over 150 years ago.
Set with one larger amethyst in the centre which measures 3.0 carats in weight, it then graduates up with a total of seventeen more amethysts on each side that come together to total an impressive 52.6 carats, with all the amethysts so beautifully matched in colour and displaying a wonderful deep rich purple colour to them all.
Measuring 41cm from end to end, this antique collar will sit perfectly around the night and is destined to be the perfect accessory for that special dress and occasion.
