This very unusual circa 1920 necklace combines delicate Edwardian "white metal" sterling filigree with bold and simple Art Deco cut tablets for a memorable design.

All the more rare is the fact that the tablets are not glass but genuine amethyst quartz.
The necklace is 16" long and the tablets measure ˝" wide and 3/16" deep. Each pillow-form amethyst square has rounded corners and shows the natural variation of color of the stone. These variations give each stone true character—so much more interesting than the watery, pale and consistent color one normally finds. The amethysts are prong-set in raised, pierced basket mountings.
The filigree panels have exceedingly fine stampings complete with tiny beaded details around the borders. One is marked "Sterling" with a partial jeweler’s hallmark on the reverse.
The chain links, too, have a beaded design on the long and short links. They close with a spring-ring clasp stamped "Sterling." This special necklace is in superb condition (even the backs of the amethyst tablets are all polished smooth). It came from a local estate, from the original owner’s daughter, and probably has not been worn in many years.
