This is a beautiful antique turquoise necklace crafted during the Victorian era. This striking piece features oval shaped, graduated turquoise stones set in silver gilt. The turquoise stones display a variety of blue-green hues, typical of natural, antique turquoise, which adds to the charm of the necklace. Each stone is securely held by prongs and connected by links to form the necklace chain. Silver gilt is a type of silver that has been gilded with a thin layer of gold and was commonly used in antique jewellery to create pieces with the aesthetic appeal of gold without the high cost. Using silver gilt in this necklace provides a beautiful contrast to the vibrant turquoise stones, resulting in a wonderful piece of antique jewellery.
