Russian turquoise drapery necklace

Sale price€3.700,00

Russian turquoise drapery necklace in 14 karat (583) rose gold. Drapery necklace composed of eleven drop-shaped turquoise plaques on matrix (visible on back), topped with round cabochons. The necklace is finished with a double chain of flat links. The turquoise may have come from Kazakhstan, a country under Russian rule since the 17th century, where turquoise mines are still found, but more likely from Persia, which supplied countries and courts with its beautiful, intense-blue stones. Turquoise from Kazakhstan is generally blue with a hint of lavender inside, suggesting Persian turquoise. Necklace circa 1900, chain changed afterwards.

Shell hallmark, on the chain, certainly changed after the necklace was made: Russian "sickle and hammer" hallmark (active after 1958), SAS or GAS hallmark on the clasp.

Total length: 42 cm
Dimensions of largest drop: 21 x 45 mm

Note: The slight difference in gold color between the chain and the necklace suggests a modification of the jewel.
