For your consideration is a fashionable Victorian blue sapphire necklace. Although real stones of enormous size were highly desirable by
the affluent European society, good fakes were sought after as well. Europe soon became a center for the thriving costume jewelry business. Machine cutting made it possible to produce large
stones of quality. Gilt metal is the foundation for this majestic necklace of sapphire blue stones. Photographs cannot do justice to the impact of this stunning necklace. It is 16" in
length; all stones are open-back and appear to be original. The pendant part measures 6" in width and 2-1/2" in length. This piece sold at an estate sale and
originated from Europe. The design and the craftsmanship are outstanding. It is not often that you find a true Victorian piece of jewelry.
