Edwardian 9ct Gold and Silver Moonstone Festoon Necklace- Spectrum Antiques
Edwardian 9ct Gold and Silver Moonstone Festoon Necklace- Spectrum Antiques
£1,950.00
Description
A breathtaking Edwardian moonstone festoon necklace of exceptional grace and construction, featuring a cascading arrangement of bezel-set cabochon moonstones in silver mounts suspended from swags of fine 9ct yellow gold trace chain. The stones graduate beautifully in size from the shoulders toward the centre, the largest oval cabochons falling as pendant drops to create the characteristic festoon drape so beloved of the Edwardian jeweller — a design that flatters the neckline with an almost architectural elegance.
The moonstones are set in silver throughout, the cool white metal chosen deliberately to enhance the ethereal, adularescent quality of the stones and keep the colour palette clean and luminous against the warm gold of the chain. The combination of 9ct gold chain with silver settings is a hallmark of quality British Edwardian jewellery of the period, circa 1900–1910. Measuring 16 inches with a graduated drop of 35mm at the centre, this is a piece of rare beauty and wearability.
