Silver Pink Foil Backed Paste Riviere Necklace

An elegant mid-19th-century English silver pink paste rivière necklace, composed of graduated oval and pear-shaped stones, each foil-backed and set in closed collet mounts. The necklace glows with a romantic rose hue, shimmering with antique brilliance.

Measuring approximately 15.5 inches (39.5 cm) in length, it sits gracefully at the collarbone. The craftsmanship, with hand-linked settings and period clasp, reflects the refined aesthetic of Victorian England, c.1850–1870.
