This is not just another antique necklace — it is a true Victorian Etruscan Revival treasure, far more striking than the rest of its kind.
Crafted circa 1885–1895, the piece features a richly textured brass mesh chain set with glowing turquoise-blue glass cabochons, imitating the highly prized Persian turquoise of the era. At the center sits a fixed turquoise cabochon connector leading into a dramatic Y-drop that suspends two ornate filigree orbs. Each orb measures about 1 inch and is inset with further turquoise glass stones, giving the piece vibrant color and dimension.
The workmanship reflects the archaeological revival craze that swept Europe during the Victorian period, when ancient Etruscan jewelry inspired bold, exotic designs for fashionable women.
Measurements (approx.):
• Beads (orbs): 1 inch
• Chain thickness: 0.39”
• Interior opening: 17 “
Total closed length including drop: 17.25 inches
Condition: Excellent antique condition, with natural patina to the brass and all cabochons intact. Ready to wear or display as part of a curated collection.
This Victorian Etruscan necklace is finer and more dramatic than most fashion pieces of its kind, making it a standout at any gathering or in any collection.
