A lovely antique Victorian Silver Sautoir chain C. 1900, decorated in lovely Moonstones which vary in shape and size throughout the piece.

A Sautoir necklace is a French term for a long chain that runs down to the waist. They were popular in the 1900s and were often worn looped multiple times around the neck to create a long cascading piece.

Moonstone has a lovely ghostly hue and was once seen as an amulet of protection to travellers, a gift of lovers for passion, a channel for prophecy, and a path to wisdom.

A wonderful long chain that can be wrapped once or twice around the neck.
