* * SOLD * *
A Victorian-era Lariat necklace, modeled in 18k yellow gold, whose slender foxtail chain is worn tied into a loose knot. This unusual necklace features a pair of large, teardrop-shaped, natural coral drops. These corals are a beautiful, soft, salmon-pink color— they are mounted in ornate, five-claw mounts that are decorated with fine, twisted wirework and granulation. We love the casual quality of a tied necklace, combined with the obvious luxury of these materials, and the necklace's archeological revival aesthetic. This necklace is elegant, easy to wear, and it looks wonderful dressed up or down!
