Description

This antique turquoise and seed pearl festoon necklace has a delicate design typical of the late Victorian to Edwardian era. Round turquoise cabochons punctuate the fine gold chainwork, ant pearl drops and tassels add gentle movement. The combination of turquoise, pearls and finely articulated gold gives the necklace a distinctive turn-of-the-century character.

Why We Love This Necklace

This early 1900s piece captures the lighter approach to jewellery that became popular around the turn of the 20th century. The turquoise provides strong colour without overwhelming the delicate gold framework. At the same time, the seed pearls soften the design and give the necklace subtle movement. It is decorative enough to feel special, yet its proportions remain easy to wear.

How to Style

This antique turquoise and seed pearl festoon necklace suits someone drawn to original antique jewellery with visible period character. It works particularly well with open necklines, simple dresses and evening wear, because the festoon design sits beautifully across the collarbone. However, it can also bring antique detail to a more understated modern outfit. Turquoise is traditionally associated with December, so the necklace also makes a thoughtful birthstone gift.
