## Summary

Antique Victorian rivière necklace featuring a series of round white paste stones in gilt metal bezel settings, circa 1860.

## Description

The rivière necklace was the absolute foundation of 18th-century jewelry design, and late 19th-century Georgian Revival examples offer a phenomenal opportunity for collectors to acquire that iconic silhouette with magnificent scale and historical integrity. This late Victorian example is truly showstopping, featuring a sweeping row of brilliantly faceted round white paste stones that graduate dramatically toward the center. Set in rich, gold-toned collets with delicate sawtooth bezels and traditional closed backs, the stones cast a remarkably bright, fiery glow that rivals natural diamonds. Because these late Victorian makers held the artistry of the previous century in such high regard, the craftsmanship and proportion of this piece remain exceptionally high. It sits with an effortless elegance along the collarbone, offering all the romantic drama of a classic Georgian silhouette paired with the durability and brilliant clarity of late 19th-century benchwork. A striking piece that feels just as magnificent for modern evening wear as it does styled casually. England, ca 1860
