I am so excited to offer this new style of necklace! I've always been in love with the beautiful Diamond-encrusted collet necklaces and parures of the 19th Century and Georgian Eras! They are so luxurious, so glamorous, and so stunning. Unfortunately they are also scarce and incredibly valuable, so far out of the reaches of mere mortals like us (Oh, to have the acquisition budget of the Metropolitan Museum of Art!). I'm so pleased to be able to offer a good alternative!

I had these settings custom-made to ensure they were to my exact specifications. They have offset loops to ensure that the stones don't flip around and show the backs (what good is a necklace where you don't see the gorgeous color?). They are made of sturdy cast brass that have beenplated (shown in Antique Gold here). I've alternated the crystal-ringed stones with plain ones, as is seen in historical examples.

The stones used are high-quality vintage paste glass crystals in a rich Ruby red-a beautiful contrast against the gold and clear crystals!

This necklace is 16" long with a 3" extender chain, however I am happy to customize it to a set length if you prefer. Just let me know!

You may also order it with matching earrings for a lovely demi-parure and a really special look! The earringsare crystal-ringed like the larger red stones in this necklace.

This necklace will be an amazing addition to your 18th or 19th century ballgown, or for your own unique special occasion.

Do note I can also customize this necklace in many different colors, so please let me know if you are looking for something different!
