9ct gold ruby lavalier necklace

c1870 Art Nouveau 9ct Gold Ruby Levalier Necklace
Despite the huge popularity of Levalier necklaces we don't deal with them too often as they are generally very lightweight and flimsy and the prices they fetch are too high in our opinion.  This is a totally different story though.  This necklace is thick and sturdy, a very rare find.  It consists of a 9ct Rose Gold (marked) Levalier pendant with typical Art Nouveau designs, set with 2 round cut blood red rubies.  It is large at 64mm x 30mm and in perfect condition.  It is hung from the original 9ct Rose old chain which is tight belcher linked and 18 inches long by 3mm thick.  It fastens with an old fashioned push clasp, everything working perfectly.  A total one off, priced at the same level as the more delicate examples.

Guard chains are always popular and this example is one of the finest you will come across.  It is thick and heavy and consists of a diamond cut belcher chain in rose gold and dog clasp (9c marked).  At a huge 53 inches in length we would hope it would be kept as a guard chain and not cut down to make other pieces of jewellery as so many others have been.  The condition is excellent and the rose colour is very warm.
