Lovely Pearl Sapphire & 14K Gold Multi Strand Seashell Necklace
Regular price
$864.00
Presented is a gorgeous pearl, sapphire bead and 14 karat gold necklace. This is a modern piece, probably made in America. The necklace consists of three strands of pearls, two freshwater and one round, tapering to two mingled strands and then a single strand at the back. The pearls are interspersed with blue sapphire beads and 14 karat gold barrel shaped beads at regular intervals. The focal point of the necklace is a heavy 14 karat gold seashell, like a sea snail shell, very realistically done.
The necklace is in great condition. The clasp functions well and closes securely. There are no breaks and no repairs.
The clasp is stamped 14k. The pendant is marked 14k, copyright JAF, and dated 1979.
The necklace is about 22 inches long.
The necklace weighs 25 grams. We estimate that 9-10 grams of this weight is 14 karat gold, considering the heavy shell pendant, the beads and the clasp.
