Description

This necklace is formed from a silver-gilt set of plaques connected by short chains strung with pearls. Each plaque is set with cabochon red, green, and blue stones (probably rubies or garnets, emeralds and sapphires). The plaques alternate on the chain with baroque pearls. At the chain's center is suspended a large rosette-shaped pendant with cannetille work and set with faceted and cabochon rubies and emeralds. The central cabochon emerald is surrounded by teardrop shapes of alternating black and white enamel.
