Violet gems sparkle throughout wisps, scrolls, and curls of bright gold in this stunning, rare choker from the Art Nouveau era! Each panel in this necklace features an amethyst-hued paste stone set within a simple bezel. Elegant oval cuts are elegantly set between brilliant round cuts and beautifully framed by ornate, curvy flourishes of gold in an endless pattern that adorns the base of the neck with exquisite grace. The bright gold metal is gold-filled and accented with an enchanting patina throughout. Though this piece was made to be an inexpensive version of a genuine gold and amethyst piece, paste is prized today as a rare artform: each stone was handcut and sparkles with the intensity of the finest crystal! It may have been a piece of 'carriage jewelry'– fit for lady who travels with fine taste!
