SUPER RARE TREASURE FIND – GEORGIAN STUART CRYSTAL CLASP NECKLACE.
Now THIS…this is the kind of piece that stops you mid-hunt.
At first glance, you’re looking at a beautiful double-strand necklace — featuring:
• One strand of genuine Mediterranean red coral beads, rich and organic in tone.
• One strand of marine cultured pearls, softly glowing with that classic lustre.
But here’s where it gets truly extraordinary…
THE CLASP IS THE REAL TREASURE.
This necklace is fitted with a rare antique late Georgian era (circa 1830s) Stuart crystal mourning clasp — a highly sought-after collector’s piece.
The clasp itself is:
• Crafted in gold-gilded metal.
• Set with a domed Stuart crystal cabochon.
• Backed with deep red foil, creating that rich, glowing “jewel within” effect so typical of the period.
Stuart crystal jewellery was traditionally used in mourning pieces, often containing hair or symbolic elements beneath the crystal — making each one deeply personal and historically significant.
In this case, the clasp has been beautifully repurposed into a wearable necklace, with the coral and pearl strands likely added later — giving you the best of both worlds:
*Authentic Georgian history + wearable modern elegance.
*The contrast between the warm coral, luminous pearls, and that antique clasp is just magic.
An exceptionally rare find — not just jewellery, but a piece of early 19th-century history, reborn into a striking, wearable statement.
