Vintage 18k Gold Harlequin Necklace pinchbeck Siberian Amethyst

Siberian Amethyst

it dates from the 1960s with a hint of Deco design

Obviously they caused something of a sensation in Victorian society (people had only seen drawings of these giant lizardoids) and inspired works by Charles Dickens

steel and iron jewellery continued to be made and worn until the end of the century

as my 3 year old daughter pointed out
