This charming necklace is composed of three circular elements in solid silver. Arranged as pendants, each disc surrounds a flat black onyx stone. The borders of these elements are richly decorated with openwork floral motifs, adorned with small sparkling rose-cut diamonds.
The chain itself is finely crafted and articulated, featuring matching small foliate motifs that extend around the neck.
The draped arrangement of the three medallions follows the shape of the neckline and offers an ideal structure for wearing with formal attire.
The openwork metalwork and the contrast between the brilliance of the silver and the deep black evoke the Victorian era.
The clasp bears an unidentified hallmark.
One small diamond is missing.
Gross weight: 27 grams.
