Antique c.1880s Victorian Silver Scalloped Collar Necklace
Descripción
This exceptional Victorian necklace is a striking example of 19th century silver craftsmanship, it is a bold yet elegant piece designed to shimmer with every movement. Formed from hundreds of overlapping scalloped discs, which almost look like butterflies, each individually hand-stamped and linked to create a fluid movement, it drapes beautifully along the neckline.
These necklaces were crafted during the mid to late Victorian era, when silver became the metal of fashion. The intricate pattern reflects the era’s fascination with nature-inspired forms and meticulous hand-finished detail, while the substantial construction and supple articulation showcase the technical mastery of Victorian silversmiths.
Originally designed to sit gracefully at the collarbone, this style of necklace embodied both craftsmanship and modernity — the Victorian answer to statement jewellery, and a timeless adornment that remains effortlessly wearable today.
