Radiating an electric raspberry glow, this exquisite antique Georgian pink paste rivière necklace is pure Regency enchantment. Measuring a classic 16 inches, this rare collar features an uninterrupted stream of hand-cut, foil-backed pink paste stones, each meticulously nestled into silver closed-back button collet settings and secured by a bolt-ring clasp.
Handcrafted circa 1820, this remarkable necklace was born in the golden age of grand ballrooms, skilfully created to emulate the coveted beauty of rare Brazilian pink topaz. Styled as a rivière - literally a “river of gems” - its continuous cascade of colour evokes eternal passion and unbroken light, designed to drape effortlessly along the collarbone and shimmer with every movement.
Surviving in excellent condition, this exceptional rarity retains remarkably bright, vivid and lively foiling. A captivating glimpse into the glamour of the Georgian era, it is an unforgettable treasure ready to bring a touch of Regency romance to the modern wardrobe - and perhaps begin a new love story of its own.
