Arts and Crafts sterling and amethyst Pendant Necklace

Straddling the divide between Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts this elegant, romantic sterling silver and amethyst pendant necklace is a delicate work of art. Eye-catching without having to be annoyingly loud, its teardrop pendant houses a gorgeous stone cut in that same shape, surrounded by a wreath of tulips, calla lilies and forget-me-nots. The elegant chain (which can easily be combined with your other pendants) is formed by dainty floral links and there is a little leaf that serves as the pendant's bail. Last but not least, please don't miss the diaphanous purple iciness of the amethyst...

Size / Weight: pendant is 1 7/8" long (without the spring ring connector) by 1" wide; with the spring ring it adds a 2" drop to the chain; chain itself is 21 1/2" long by 1/4" wide; 15.3 grams (for the set)

Hallmarks / Date: "STERLING" on both spring rings; 1910s-30s

Condition: excellent vintage with crisp, gorgeous design, beautiful patina and a yummy amethyst; no damage and no repairs noted
