Georgian Era Agate Necklace

Early 19th Century agate necklace set in gilt metal.  English in origin, this necklace dates to 1800-1830.  The nicely matched and graduated agate stones are set in cut down collet settings.  Each stone is sliced thin allowing light to pass through the beautifully banded natural agate patterns. A very nice long length for a necklace from this period.  

Integrated box clasp. 18" in length. The largest stone measures 1.25"
