Late Victorian Citrine Drop Necklace

This gorgeous necklace was made in the city of Vienna during the Austro-Hungarian Empire period, circa 1900. It is crafted in 14k rosy-hued gold and features a total of 8.8 carats of warm, golden citrines. The design incorporates alternating figure-of-eight links, culminating in a striking pendant with two elongated pear-shaped citrine drops connected by seed pearls.

The citrines, expertly cut and faceted to capture the light, exude a rich golden hue that complements the warm tones of the gold. The necklace is hallmarked with the Austro-Hungarian fox mark, indicating gold assayed between 1874 and 1922, alongside a city mark for Vienna, further attesting to its historical provenance.

Measuring 42 cm (16.5 inches) in length, the necklace sits beautifully along the collarbone, while the longest drop extends to an impressive 6 cm, adding movement and sophistication to the piece. Weighing 8.16 grams, this necklace offers a light yet luxurious feel, perfect for both special occasions and everyday wear.
