Edwardian Silver Riviere Necklace

This is a fantastic quality Edwardian Silver Riviere Necklace with clear paste stones set in sterling silver.  The stones are held in an open backed frame, each frame is then connected together by two chains. The stones are claw set. Unfortunately the pictures don’t show the sparkle that these stones give off.

This style ran for many years, right through to the end of the Art Deco period. The paste stones are well cut and are clear, there is a spring bolt clasp.  The necklace is delicate in appearance but is strong due to the double chain and allows the stones to be the centre of attention.

Size: 18 1/2″ end to end

Condition: Excellent Antique

Date: 1901 – 1920s
