Georgian Style Silver Paste Saint Esprit Necklace features a Bird pendant with antique design. The pendant is part of a circa 16" silver necklace with paste stones cut in the pyramid without top and bottom design with loops for ribbon. The necklace is crafted from 800-925 tested silver, adorned with white clear paste glass stones. This original Georgian Style piece has several worn hallmarks. This highly desirable collectible is a must have for the antique jewelry collector.
The necklace has no clasp and the original most likely black ribbon is no longer with it. They used velvet ribbon instead of a clasps during the time. Most necklaces in this style today have replacement claps and no longer have the hoop endings.
Georgian necklaces were made as chokers - which was a popular style and the fashion during the Georgian period, and some of the most desirable styles included dog collars or chokers. I personally love to see this being used with a ribbon. However a jeweler can easily fashion a chain and clasp or just use a different color velvet ribbon and wear this gorgeous gem in the original style.
