Rare Edwardian "Charles Horner"enamel & pearl necklace. This wonderful post Edwardian (1913 assay) necklace is crafted from sterling silver, hallmarked with the British assay for sterling silver.  Featuring beautiful enamel , genuine blister pearl and quality silver-work.  The necklace is designed with a central medallion with lovely white, red and green enamel work, with smaller marquise shaped panels leading up to a durable curb chain. The necklace has a delicate filigree medallion joining the necklace ,simulating a butterfly with red and green enamel work giving the appearance of red coral and green cabochon emeralds.  The clasp is a spring ring clasp in perfect working order.  This style of necklace by Charles Horner is very unusual and rare, this is the only one I have had the pleasure to see in person.  Presenting itself as feminine, and charming, this wonderful Antique treasure looks stunning when worn, truly a very special piece to be enjoyed and worn for many years to come.
