A rare and truly elegant antique Arts & Crafts necklace, dating to the late Victorian period, circa 1900, attributed to the distinguished designer Edith Stewart. This fine example of period jewellery showcases exceptional craftsmanship and timeless design.
The necklace features four enchanting lilac-blue chalcedony cabochons, each suspended from delicate silver chains. These serene gemstones are framed in rope-effect silver settings, with the principal stone beautifully accented by a classic laurel surround – a motif often associated with the Arts & Crafts movement.
This necklace sits gracefully on the neck and is particularly flattering when worn. Its refined form and subtle movement reflect the aesthetic ideals of the period: natural beauty, fine handwork, and honest materials.

2 x round cabochons – 10.5mm diameter
