Antique Chinese necklace Enamel necklace Peacock necklace Figural ornate moonstone necklace tassel necklace statement necklace

 

This buckle is from the mid 1800's and it has turquoise and blue enamel with a bird centerpiece. He looks like a peacock?. From the pendant hang all the original drops, with one being a genuine moonstone. A large ornate thick chain is what this wonderful old Chinese piece hangs from. THe chain measures 28" to the pendant and then you can add 4 1/4" more for the drop.I am not sure if the buckle is solid silver, but I can tell you it is not plated. This is completely hand wrought ( the buckle). I have seen similar ones in the antique jewelry books and these go for quite a bit of money on their own. Adding it to the thick heavy chain really made it stand out and become a delightful piece! some enamel loss which really adds to the distressed nature of this awesome antique buckle. Sold as found.
