Antique 15ct Gold Aquamarine Necklace
The centrepiece of this captivating necklace is a stunning aquamarine gemstone, known for its serene blue hue reminiscent of the ocean's depths. The aquamarine, carefully selected for its exceptional quality and clarity, exudes a captivating brilliance that effortlessly draws attention. The gemstone is expertly cut to showcase its natural beauty and is securely set within an intricate 15ct gold pendant.
The pendant itself is a work of art, showcasing delicate filigree work and intricate detailing that reflects the craftsmanship of a bygone era. The 15ct gold setting adds a touch of warmth and richness, perfectly complementing the serene blue of the aquamarine. The gold exhibits a soft patina, adding to the antique allure of the necklace.
Metal: 15ct yellow gold.
Marks: Unmarked - tests indicate 15ct gold with 9ct gold chain, likely a later addition.
Measurements:
Stones: Aquamarine. The stone appears foil backed but we have confirmed the stone to be from the Beryl family of gemstones using our most reliable tool, a refractometer. The stone has given a very clear refractive index reading of 1.58.
Weight: 11.97 grams.
Condition: Very good. The chain is not going to be the original however. This was likely on a very fine trace chain which would have worn out long ago so we suspect this to be a slightly bulkier more modern bit of chain allowing for better security when worn.
