Etruscan Revival Necklace Hair Coque de perle was developedAn Etruscan Revival ruby and natural seed pearl necklace in 18ct gold, dating to circa 1860. The rubies are set in triangular panels framed by rope twist and fringed borders, alternating with suspended seed pearls nestled within matching rope twist surrounds. Coiled gold wire links allow the decorative elements to move freely along the herringbone gold chain. Crafted in rich yellow gold, this necklace is an elegant example of mid 19th century design.
