DATE: Victorian, c.1900

A cool Victorian chain necklace with six pairs of turquoise oval cabochons in collet settings. Simple and timeless, it's reminiscent of (but obviously predates) the Elsa Peretti for Tiffany diamonds by the yard style. As always, turquoise and high karat gold is an excellent colour combination.
