Chrysoprase jewelry has a rich history dating back to ancient civilizations such as ancient Greece and Egypt, where it was prized for its vibrant green color and believed to possess healing properties.

The necklace is in very good vintage condition, with a moderate layer of patina on the silver that can be polished upon request. The chrysoprase cabochon is intact and firmly set, with a few fine lines and marks on the surface but nothing noticeable or distracting. The back is stamped 800 silver (80% silver), and the chain is sterling silver.
The necklace measures 26″ long, the pendant is 2-5/8″ tall and 1-11/16″ wide, and weighs 21.42 grams. The box is for display only.
