Dating from the turn of the 20th century, this luxurious drapery necklace has been crafted in the Art Nouveau style with nine decorative filigree panels filled with a timeless interior filigree motif. Crafted from 18k gold which retains its lovely, buttery old gold patina, it is amazing to think of each small piece being delicately wrought and then soldered together. Once adorning the neck of a very fashionable high society woman many moons ago, it would now make the perfect modern statement necklace. With a length of 46 cm it is perfectly positioned to be both comfortable and stylish. This style is known as a 'draperie' in French as it drapes across the collarbone bringing an effortless French elegance to the wearer. A very original feature, the filigree panels are separated by hanging gold spheres which add a lovely unexpected element. It is obvious the necklace was well cared for as the spheres are in excellent condition without denting, which is rare for hollow decorative embellishments. The necklace has been hallmarked with an eagle head, indicating at least 18k gold. It's hard not to fall in love with this beauty for its sweet details, luxurious material, and skilled craftsmanship. And of course, gold never goes out of style.
