large vintage Victorian SAPHIRET necklace pendant

A gorgeous vintage pendant featuring a large saphiret in the center. Chain measures 24" long. Pendant is 3" long and 1 5/8" wide. Saphiret cab is 1" long and 3/4" wide. In lovely vintage condition. May need a light cleaning, but all of the rhinestones are in tact and have no visible damage. Saphiret is nearly perfect. There is some very slight verdigris in a couple of places. I have had two other jewelry dealers confirm that this is in fact a Saphiret.
