A really stunning, rare, Archibald Knox necklace in its original box. The design is a classic complex
Knox design augmented with beautiful enamels. The enamels are perhaps the nicest I have seen by
Liberty with a play of red, green and blue. See “Archibald Knox”, 2nd Edition, page 252, by Stephen
Martin for the same necklace set with mother of pearl.
Maker: Liberty

This is definitely by Archibald Knox.
