This long antique sautoir chain from the late Victorian era boasts a fabulous teardrop shaped Jade stone which accompanied by six large polished Jade beads which are displayed across the chain.
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.
Jade is considered the ultimate ‘Dream Stone’ and has been admired in ancient cultures throughout the world as a protective talisman, assuring long life and wisdom to the wearer.
The chain is all 9ct Yellow Gold and hangs beautifully from the neck to the waist. It is highly unique and a great talking piece.
