Harlequin jewellery is named after the colourful costumes of the 16th century comedy actors of the same name. The style was popular during the 19^th Century and saw wonderful pieces of jewellery abundantly decorated with coloured gemstones. 

The stones are set in gold frames and held by a double hook clasp at the end. It’s in excellent condition and boasts a gorgeous variety of natural gemstones that look like a glistening rainbow around the neck.
