A rare treasure from the Belle Époque era, this antique French necklace is masterfully crafted in rich 18ct gold. Showcasing seven intricately filigreed butterfly links, graduating gracefully in size, this piece is interspersed with six delicate pansy motifs, creating a balanced and romantic composition.
At 17 inches long, it layers beautifully while standing out as a collector-worthy centrepiece. Designed with dual-sided detailing, the necklace can be worn either way, revealing exquisite craftsmanship on both sides. French eagle head hallmarks are clearly stamped on the bolt ring and end link, affirming its authenticity and heritage.
An exceptional addition for antique jewellery connoisseurs or anyone drawn to poetic, nature-inspired design.
