Regal and remarkable!

This Swagged French Perpignan Garnet Garland Necklace is a true princess necklace! Crafted circa 1880s in a striking 18 carat gold, this necklace is a pre-Belle Epoque example, with many striking design elements.

First and foremost, these decadent foiled Perpignan Garnets glimmer like starry pomegranate jewels along the length of the necklace, creating the most romantic silhouette. No matter how you choose to wear this piece, it is certain to turn heads.

Another interesting element is the large central rosette with the distinct “wire formed” setting that most perpignant jewels have, indicating that this originated as a South-Eastern French Provençal.

Finally, this necklace features wonderful matching fanned earrings, with delicate blood-red Perpignan garnets dangling elegantly from their central station.

A fabulous addition to any antique jewelry collection!

Marks: None visible, the chain at the back has been lovingly adjusted to account for different draping at desired decoletage lengths, so I’m assuming that the hallmarked clasp was swapped to accomodate this versatility.
