Edwardian Turquoise Nugget & Seed Pearl Fringe Necklace & 9k Gold Barrel Clasp

A stunning Edwardian fringe necklace, featuring fifteen natural turquoise nuggets interspersed with creamy seed pearls, complete with 9k gold barrel clasp.

The organic turquoise gemstones are rich in character, displaying the natural matrix (black veins), they graduate in size from a 4.5x7mm to a central 9.5x16mm, their vibrant turquoise blue perfectly complemented by the gentle lustre of the pearls. Designed to drape elegantly around the neckline, the fringe style adds a touch of playful movement and antique charm.

Perfect for layering or wearing as a statement piece on its own.

A rare and romantic piece for antique jewelry lovers and turquoise collectors alike.

While gemstone and seed pearl fringe necklaces are often found set with Amethyst or Citrine, examples featuring Turquoise are far more rare and difficult to come by.

Tiny natural pearls from India were used extensively in antique Jewellery.  Many of the pearls used were from the Pinctada radiata oyster found in the Persian Gulf, the Red seas and Sri Lanka.
