Astonishing 18ct Edwardian French 18K gold chain necklace. This remarkable piece is called drapery necklace and is hallmarked with an eagle head which is proof of its 18K gold purity. Drapery necklaces were considered a must-have accessory for high society women of the time, and their appeal remains undiminished in the present day, as any discerning eye recognizes their enduring value.
With a length of 48.5 cm which is approx 19", this necklace gracefully drapes across the collarbone, bringing effortless French elegance to the wearer. This piece of french art showcases the intricate filigree link design skillfully created by a talented goldsmith of the era. The necklace features 3 round medallions which are flanked on both sides by teardrop shaped links. The interiors are filled with eye catching filigree embellishments.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this high-quality necklace boasts 8 oval links filled with filigree artwork links, elegantly separated by connecting links.
It is great antique condition, exhibiting no visible signs of wear. The chain links are well-maintained but some of the sides of the links have been affined with time and one of the teardrop is a bit torn but doesn't show at all when worn. Radiating a captivating shine and showcasing a lovely yellow gold color. We have taken care to polish and clean the chain, restoring its original appearance.
