Antique Amethyst and Rock Crystal Fringe Necklace of 10k Gold

An elegant antique fringe necklace dating to circa 1900, featuring alternating drops of richly hued purple amethyst and luminous rock crystal, all finely mounted in 10 karat gold. The soft contrast between the saturated violet tones of the amethyst and the cool clarity of the rock crystal creates a harmonious and sophisticated palette, characteristic of turn-of-the-century gemstone jewelry. The delicate fringe design allows each drop to move gracefully with the wearer, catching the light to impart subtle brilliance and dimensionality.

The necklace measures approximately 15.5 inches in length, with drops extending up to 1 inch, and has a total weight of 17.55 grams, offering a graceful yet substantial presence at the collarbone. The gold content has been professionally verified through XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis in conjunction with traditional jeweler’s acid testing, confirming solid 10 karat gold construction.

The piece is presented in excellent antique condition, with all stones secure and the goldwork well preserved.

Gemstone identification has been confirmed using Raman spectroscopy, a non-destructive analytical technique that provides a precise chemical fingerprint to verify authenticity.|
