Austro-Hungarian Silver Enamel & Ruby Bird Necklace

578E
Written by Olly Gerrish

A wonderful unusual Austro-Hungarian necklace of a green enamelled bird with a collar and a central ruby suspended from an enamelled and small natural pearl chain. It was made circa 1880 in Austro-Hungary and is in the Neo-Renaissance style popular at the time and still very collectable today. The necklace has been made by hand using silver twisted wire with the links left unsoldered, so is very delicate and not intended for everyday wear.
