Stunning Deco Italian necklace wrought in 800 silver in the style of the Peruzzi and Coppini Bros, this piece features an elaborately cast pendant housing a huge faceted amethyst. Renaissance Revival in its orientation the pendant is adorned with putti and a bare-breasted mermaid while the chain has fruit and foliate links. Fantastic patina, very good casting and generous in proportions - an excellent example of the genre. The pendant is 3 1/4" tall by 2 5/16" wide while the chain is 27" long by 3/8" wide (at its widest). The set weighs 66.8 grams and is simply marked "800" which dates it in the 1900-1930s period. In excellent vintage condition with a gorgeous, huge stone, fantastic patina and very crisp casting - no flaws noted either.
