Antique Straits Chinese necklace set with old cut peridot in 18k.
The peridot is yellowish green, a very lush color of Burmese peridot.
Early period peridot is soulful, cut like mine cut diamonds, collecting much fire in joint presence, radiating a graduation in their hues.
These peridot stones are similar to Georgian and early Victorian period high quality peridot, with a certain 'neon' incandescence to their display.
Relative to a sapphire's size, the smallest peridot stones are under 1 carat, the biggest centre stone is between 4 to 5 carats.
The necklace is a hundred years old or more, with its era's prong bezel setting.
The necklace is 15.25" long.
