One of a kind I assume!
Wonderful necklace comprising of 5 colorful Antique Georgian buttons and a paste clasp on an antique silver chain.
They vary in shape with 3 rounds and 2 square cushion shaped, as well as a round concealed clasp.
The center and largest is pink with a red foil underneath and measures 12.7mm O
2 Square shaped ones surrounds it:
a clear one with red foil and black dot, measuring 10.5x10x5mm and a deep yellow of the same dimensions.
The remaining 2 are a green paste, emerald hue, measuring 12mm Ø and a clear paste with silver foil and black dot measuring 11.6mm Ø.
The concealed clasp dimensions are:
7.4mm Ø x 7.9mm. The round clear paste lays upon a pale gold foil, this clasp seems to come from a Georgian rivière necklace
The back of the green paste shows a dent and some scuffs.
The chain is 4mm width x 1.5mm and looks like a double curb style. There is a lovely patina all throughout and the silver is between 835 and 925, I date the chain at around 1880s, it’s rather thick and may have been a fob/watch chain.
The total length of the necklace is 45cm or 18 inches.
The total weight is 20.2 grams.
Thanks for reading!
ps: as we any antique foiled jewellery it is important to keep it away from water and moisture!
