Victorian Amethyst & Pearl Negligee Necklace

Circa 1890. Elegant and unmistakably Victorian, this beautiful necklace showcases the refined romance of late 19th-century jewelry design. At its center is a richly colored oval amethyst, framed by a halo of softly luminous seed pearls, creating a striking yet graceful focal point. From this centerpiece descend two articulated drops, each set with a pear-shaped amethyst accented by delicate pearls, lending movement and a gentle play of light.

The necklace is crafted in warm 9KT gold and designed in the negligee style, a form that became especially popular during the late-Victorian/Edwardian era for its elongating silhouette and feminine elegance. Amethyst was a favored gemstone of the period, admired for its regal color and long-standing associations with clarity, protection, and devotion.
