Regular price
$917.00
Presented is a lovely antique 14 karat gold, citrine, and pearl necklace, made in America and dating to around the 1890s. The chain is a dainty classic round link style with a plunge style clasp. The pendant is an elegant drop style, with an oval cut citrine suspending a real, natural pearl teardrop, both in finely hand engraved bezel settings. The citrine is beautifully cut to maximize its depth and clarity, measuring about 15 by 11 millimeters, or about 6 carats in weight. The pearl has a gorgeous rosy tint, even better than the photos show. The interior of the bail measures about 5.7 by 4.9 millimeters, so the pendant can accommodate a wide variety of chain sizes and styles, though the current chain also suits it very well.
This piece is in excellent condition. The citrine and pearl are securely set and in great shape. The chain has no kinks or breaks. The clasp is working well and closes securely. Both the chain and the pendant are stamped 14k, nitric acid tested and guaranteed.
The total length is about 16 3/4 inches.
The pendant is about 1 7/8 inches by 1 1/4 inches.
This necklace weighs 9.1 grams total. -jm
