Distinctly Victorian with its intricate details and dynamic textures, this versatile necklace is exemplary of the fine craftsmanship of the era. Handmade around 1870 in rose gold, this gorgeous piece is actually a detachable chain and brooch! The chain is specifically designed to attach to the tasseled amethyst pin, transforming it into a spectacular pendant! The chain features four interwoven rings contrasted by bold granulation, resulting in a tight-knit and sturdy chain with a ring on each end to attach to hooks on the back of the brooch. A pair of dancing tassels anchors the angular brooch, while a fancy-cut, light purple amethyst glistens in the center. Three small floral-set seed pearls, a textured shell top, and delicate scrollwork throughout add to this centerpiece's unique charm. Boasting delightful motion, the tassels dangle from domed caps detailed with gorgeous taille d'รฉpargne enameling. Whether worn as a necklace or gracing your lapel, this skillfully-crafted, cheerful creation is sure to have all eyes on you!
