Victorian Enamel Festoon Necklace of 18k Gold on a Velvet Ribbon
Sold out
A striking triple stranded festoon necklace dating to 1870, composed of assorted 18 karat gold chains delicately accented with baby blue enamel, and centered with a graceful bluebell pendant. The chains are elegantly suspended from a black velvet ribbon, creating a dramatic contrast between the richness of the gold and the softness of the textile—a style characteristic of the period’s taste for mixed materials and adaptable wear.
The pendant measures 2.75 inches in length, while the necklace measures 32.5 inches overall, with a total weight of 17.83 grams, offering both presence and fluid movement.
It is presented in great antique condition, with enamel well preserved and all elements secure.
Metal authenticity has been professionally verified using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing, confirming solid 18K gold construction.
