Victorian 12KT Gold Filled Festoon Necklace With Purple Faceted Stone 16"

This beautiful item is a vintage gold-filled fringe or festoon necklace featuring vibrant, prong-set purple faceted stones. The engraved metal stations and delicate prong work point toward a design from the late Victorian or early Edwardian era. Key Characteristics Note- see all photos for markings and condition. Material: The base metal is covered in a thick mechanical layer of gold (gold-filled), making it highly durable and resistant to wear compared to simple gold plating. Stones: The purple drops have the distinct brilliant color of either amethyst or antique purple paste glass (a popular, high-quality gemstone alternative during the period). Design: The styling features detailed, diamond-cut or chased decorative gold leaves bridging each drop, typical of romantic antique jewelry movements.
