Antique Rivière Necklaces

Rivière necklaces are characterised by a graduating line of gemstones set in a single, uninterrupted strand. The term "Rivière" comes from the French word for "river," which represents the flowing line of gems. Rivière's gained popularity during the 19th century, particularly in the Georgian and Victorian eras. It was a favourite among royalty and the wealthy elite, often seen as a symbol of luxury and refined taste.
