Alluring, Refined.

The ancient world inspired the Victorians, as archeological finds unearthed the golden treasures of bygone civilizations. Here, we have a Victorian collar, circa 1870, with graduated, amphorae-inspired fringe. Each drop is fully three-dimensional. What a joy to behold a Victorian jewel that is so minimalist and modern in its appeal. We love the streamlined design contrasted with the rich bloomed finish. We are especially delighted that this beauty displays a full fringe, extending even to the barrel clasp.

Out of dozens of drops in this collar of over 150 years, we see only one that has a dent (between 2 and 3 o’clock in the full view photo). In our opinion, this is not readily noticeable and does not detract from the beauty or desirability of this piece.

Unmarked.
