Antique Victorian Amethyst Paste Chain 15ct Gold 16.5 Inch

Details

This enchanting antique Victorian necklace is beautifully fashioned in 15ct yellow gold, featuring luminous, collet-set violet amethysts alternating with shimmering clear paste stones along a delicate 16.5-inch cable chain.

During the Victorian era, regal amethysts symbolised sincere devotion, peace and protection, while sparkling paste gems were treasured for capturing the warm, flickering brilliance of diamonds beneath the glow of candlelit ballrooms. Together, their striking contrast evokes an air of regal elegance, romance and enduring devotion.

Preserved in superb condition for over a century, this charming Victorian necklace fastens securely with a classic bolt-ring clasp and drapes beautifully along the collarbone. Effortlessly elegant worn alone or layered with other favourite chains, it is a timeless antique treasure to cherish.
