Antique necklaces and pendants

A necklace is worn around the neck, while a pendant hangs from a chain by a bail or another attachment. Length, link articulation and motif placement determine how the jewellery sits. When considering antique necklaces and pendants, the clasp, connections and stone settings are technical elements to examine.

The Satti Jewelry selection brings together necklaces and pendants, with pieces from the contemporary period included in the current stock. The choice depends on the design, materials and how the jewellery rests against the neck or neckline. A pendant also needs a chain suited to its weight and able to pass through its bail.

Hallmarks can provide information about the metal and its fineness. Their legibility and position deserve attention. Old stone cuts are distinguished notably by their proportions and the arrangement of their facets. These characteristics influence their appearance under light.

Condition should also be considered: wear to the links, visible repairs, the operation of the clasp and how securely the stones sit in their settings. These points help assess how a piece can be worn and what precautions may be useful for everyday wear.

Complimentary insured delivery is provided. A certificate of authenticity accompanies each piece.
