A Group of Four Assorted Fashion and Costume Necklaces Featuring Lapis Lazuli, Amethyst, and Abalone Shell
Description
An assortment of four fashion and costume necklaces in various styles, including Victorian revival, modernist, and minimalist designs.
The collection includes:
A yellow metal pendant featuring a large oval lapis lazuli cabochon. The deep blue stone contains visible gold-coloured pyrite inclusions and is secured in a decorative gallery setting with a scalloped edge. It is suspended from a fine curb chain. A small metal tag is attached near the clasp, but no characters or hallmarks are legible.
A large silver-tone metal pendant designed in an ornate Victorian revival style. The central oval panel is filled with a mosaic of purple amethyst chips set in clear resin, surrounded by a wide openwork border. The pendant hangs from a silver-tone cable link chain.
A modernist silver-tone metal pendant of marquise form. The centre features an inlay of iridescent abalone shell displaying a spectrum of green, blue, and yellow hues. The piece is suspended from a fine curb chain.
A minimalist pendant comprising a rough-cut, mottled light blue stone of triangular form, possibly dyed quartz. The stone is capped with a simple silver-tone metal bail and is presented on a very fine curb chain.
All necklaces are fitted with small spring ring clasps. There are no readable maker’s marks or metal fineness hallmarks present on any of the pieces.
