Hilary’s Notes

Vintage at Squash Blossom brings together estate and antique jewelry, each piece one of a kind. A mid-Victorian rivière from around 1850 to 1870, set with round, faceted purple paste (strass) stones, each in its own smooth gold-filled collet with a fine millegrain edge, graduating to the largest stones at the center. Full graduated rivières in paste are far harder to find intact than simple pendant necklaces from the same period. The spring ring clasp is a later addition for easier wear, as is common on Victorian rivières.
