Chain necklaces like these were starting to be seen as somewhat common in the late 18th up into the 19th and 20th centuries. This one was inspired by the Regency fashion prints that I have seen with crosses, stars, and other shapes hanging from chain and/or beaded necklaces. I love this necklace and actually wear one myself with yellow stars and I have matching earrings!

I have several colors in stock, and they all measure 17 inches long, and I paired it with a lovely bali gold plated over silver (vermeil) round clasp with a flower on it. The center front flower pendants hang down about an inch.

This is a vintage style plated chain. The base metal is possibly pewter, but could be brass. I currently do not have matching earrings in the flowers, but could possibly have them made up if interested. Please convo me.

Portrait is of Elizaveta_Alexeevna by Vigee Lebrun, 1802, with pearls (of which I offer this style necklace in another listing). First and last photo (taken by Jennifer McKay Higgins of Chaddsford Floorcloths) is of me modeling the necklace in yellow. Sits beautifully on.

If more photos are needed just ask! My Pinterest boards have more portraits and prints where a lot of my inspiration comes from.
