Forty-five graduated rose-cut diamonds prong-set with silver in gold bezels are set on a foiled background. The box clasp is not original.
Jewelry that was made between 1714 and 1830 during the reigns of the four English kings named George is commonly called Georgian Jewelry. Varying styles of jewelry were produced during this period. The styles moved from Rococo during George the first's reign through Gothic and Neoclassical. Georgian pieces can sometimes be detected by the way the stones are mounted. Unlike the open work favored today for gem stones, Georgian gems were often set over foil with their backs enclosed with metal.
This magnificent necklace is a perfect example, except the clasp, which has been replaced. The length of the chain is 15". (38cm)
