Frequently Asked Questions
What did turquoise symbolise during the Victorian era?
In Victorian jewellery, turquoise was traditionally associated with protection, fidelity and heartfelt expression. Its soft blue and blue-green tones carried emotional significance during the nineteenth century, making turquoise jewellery both decorative and deeply symbolic.
What makes this Victorian turquoise necklace particularly rare?
This Victorian turquoise necklace is distinguished by its combination of eleven well matched natural turquoise cabochons, intricate filigree detailing and delicate granulation work. Pieces displaying this level of craftsmanship and visual harmony are increasingly uncommon, particularly examples that retain such refined articulation throughout each individual setting.
What is filigree and granulation work?
Filigree is a decorative metalworking technique involving fine gold scrollwork and delicate wire detailing. Granulation refers to the application of tiny soldered gold beads used to create texture and dimension. In this necklace, both techniques are executed with exceptional precision, demonstrating the high level of workmanship associated with fine Victorian jewellery.
