Circa 1890
A beautiful Victorian 9ct yellow gold Matrix Turquoise necklace with seven pieces of natural old Turquoise ranging in shades of blue/green colour with the characteristic ‘spider webbing’ created by the black veins running through the gemstones.
The Turquoise naturally range in size and shape but are approximately 12.5 x 8.5mm.
The rope link chain is connected via rose gold wire to each turquoise station. An extension of rose gold belcher link chain has been added to length the necklace to a 15.5″ / 39.5cm length.
