Late Victorian Amethyst Necklace & Earrings

A late Victorian amethyst necklace and earrings: the necklace consists of 39 oval faceted amethysts, all set in cut-down collets, suspending five pear-shaped briolette-cut amethyst drops each with diamond-set cap of foliate design, all mounted in silver to yellow gold back, accompanied by matching drop earrings with gold wire fittings, circa 1880. Joanna Hardy says: ” This necklace and earring set is very attractive. The necklace is beautifully flexible so it would sit on the neck very comfortably. The amethyst drops are slightly darker in colour than the amethysts in the riviere; the full necklace has a lot of life.”
