Antique 27.75ct Tourmaline and Seed Pearl 14ct Yellow Gold Necklace Circa 1890

19th century
For Sale by AC Silver
Description

A stunning, fine and impressive antique 27.75 carat tourmaline and seed pearl, 14 carat yellow gold necklace with a 15 carat yellow gold chain; part of our Victorian jewellery collection.

This stunning, fine and impressive antique Victorian gemstone necklace has been crafted in 14ct yellow gold.

The necklace is comprised of seven stunning individually claw set mixed cut tourmalines, flanked with paired leaf designs accented with impressive seed pearls.

Each paired leaf setting incorporates a central seed pearl, continuing the sinuous design.

The lower portion of the design supports an intertwining leaf design, reflecting the aforementioned arrangement, accented to the terminal with a claw set pear faceted cut tourmaline.

The necklace is suspended from a 15ct yellow gold rope twist chain and secures to the reverse with a conventional spring-loaded bolt ring fastening.

This necklace has been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as 14 and 15 carat gold.

This antique tourmaline and pearl necklace is supplied with an IDGL gemstone grading report card.

This stunning organic-inspired necklace is the finest of its type you could hope to acquire.

This Victorian tourmaline and pearl necklace makes an enchanting gift for someone who appreciates romantic antique jewellery, colourful gemstones and the elegance of Victorian craftsmanship. As tourmaline is an October birthstone, this piece makes a particularly thoughtful choice for an October birthday, as well as a milestone anniversary, wedding, Mother's Day or significant personal achievement. Its authentic Victorian character and elegant gemstone combination offer an individuality rarely found in contemporary jewellery, creating a beautiful heirloom to be worn, treasured and passed down through generations.

Images do not always reflect the true colour and brilliance of gemstones and diamonds. The video however provides a truer representation of the actual colour and showcases each stone.

Condition

This antique 1890s necklace is exceptional quality, set with stunning tourmalines displaying fine colour, brilliance and presence.

The impressive seed pearls display fine colour and lustre.

The necklace is an exceptional gauge of gold and is in exceptional condition.

This Victorian 1890 necklace is a piece of fine jewellery comprising 14ct yellow gold, a 15ct yellow gold chain, green tourmalines, and seed pearls. The design features seven claw-set emerald-cut green tourmalines, foliage-shaped gold links with white seed pearls, and a dangling pear-cut green tourmaline drop pendant at the base. The visual elements include faceted stone edges, interlocking openwork gold leaves, and individual prong settings securing each gemstone along the articulated chain. It measures 40.64 cm in length, 20.5 cm in width, and 0.463 cm in height. In a modern home, it is worn for special occasions, weddings, formal events, and anniversaries as a statement neck ornament. It sits against the collarbone, securing at the back with a standard spring-loaded fastener.

Late Victorian jewellery frequently featured botanical motifs, delicate seed pearl embellishments, and vibrant coloured gemstones such as green tourmaline mounted in yellow gold.

Necklaces from this era typically utilized 14ct or 15ct yellow gold settings, claw mountings for primary gemstones, and natural seed pearls set into foliate link work.

Authentic pieces display hand-finished metalwork, characteristic late 19th-century claw configurations, natural seed pearl mountings, and Period-appropriate construction techniques.

A late Victorian necklace serves as a focal statement piece when paired with modern open-neckline dresses, tailored silk blouses, or eveningwear.

Clean gently using a soft dry cloth, avoiding exposure to water, harsh chemicals, or ultrasonic cleaners which can damage porous seed pearls and alter gold surfaces.
