Antique Amethyst Necklace with Riviere/drop Design 9k Gold C.1900

1900 - 1920
Sold 16 March 2026 · Artisan Antiques

Description

We are delighted to offer this stunning antique Edwardian amethyst necklace made c.1900.

The necklace presents a wonderful array of substantially-sized and various-shaped amethysts set with a 9ct antique gold backing and chain.

The amethysts are matched well and tastefully selected with round, oval and pear cuts that accentuate the wearer's neck and create an elegant symmetry, terminating in a single point.

Its chainwork allows for each amethyst to move around, and its overall design creates a very fluid, natural and unrestricted appearance. The bottom portion is suspended and comes particularly to life upon wearing with the movement of the freely moving parts in full effect.

Furthermore, its intricate craftsmanship and fine mounts lends itself well to accentuate the amethysts, allowing them to glisten in their best light.

Elegant, tasteful and opulent, it would most certainly grace a shirt in the summer or on top of a jumper in the cooler seasons and is a lovely way to display your passion for fine antiques and exquisite jewellery, distinguished from contemporary pieces.

A very special gift to a lucky individual or as an indulgent gift for yourself, bound to be a conversation starter, particularly for those with an eye for classical elegance.

The piece is unmarked as is common with articles of this period and as such we have tested it, indicating 9ct gold.

Amethyst is known to be the birthstone for February.

All of our jewellery come with a complimentary hard shell gift box with a velvet interior.

Edwardian jewellery is characterised by delicate craftsmanship, lighter platinum and gold settings, and an emphasis on feminine gemstones like amethyst, peridot, and seed pearls.

Jewellery from this era typically utilised lower-carat yellow and rose golds such as 9ct, alongside natural gemstones secured in hand-formed collet settings.

Authentic pieces often exhibit hand-cut gemstone facets, traditional assay marks or hallmarks, closed-back or open collet settings, and signs of genuine age-related wear on the metal.

Pairing a historic necklace with minimalist modern clothing allows the craftsmanship and natural colour of the gemstones to stand out as a focal point.

Amethyst should be kept away from prolonged direct sunlight to prevent fading, and cleaned gently with warm soapy water using a soft brush, avoiding harsh chemical ultrasonic cleaners.
