18K Yellow Gold Aquamarine Bead 0.80 Carat White Diamond Butterfly Necklace
Located in Rome, IT
Rossella Ugolini Design Collection an enchanting pendant necklace handcrafted in 18 karats Yellow Gold chain with a light blue Aquamarine Drop. The pendent is a Butterfly made in 18 karats yellow gold embellished with white diamonds wings. Fly away. The butterfly catches the eye, with its lightness and sparkling diamonds. With its antennas alert and shining with precious dew, the butterfly handmade in 18K yellow gold with wings embellished with white diamonds, stands out on the one-of-a-kind necklace, rests on the necklace with an Aquamarine bead and spreads its wings dressed in gold and diamonds. The butterfly returns to be the protagonist among garments, accessories and jewels. Free flying when the Modern butterfly spreads its diamond wings on the 18K Yellow Gold necklace. It is yet another sign offered by nature that spares no inspiration in terms of creativity. The infinite color combinations and symmetrical designs of her livery have also been the object of attention of the great jewelers - from Van Cleef & Arpels to Chopard - who are committed to translating every detail with precision and mastery. It is therefore not surprising that every spring the desire to wear butterflies is reborn to feel the pleasure of freedom. The butterfly is an ornament that symbolizes the fragility that adorns the person and that aesthetically essential dignity to grace. The natural metamorphosis of the caterpillar that becomes a chrysalis and then a butterfly concretely represents that rebirth that follows the abandonment of the material shell in pagan beliefs, that exit of the soul from the body in the Greco-Roman tradition and the metaphor of resurrection in Christian iconography . And it is thanks to this 'sublime' spirit that the étoile of the meadows managed to seduce the imagination of many artists and to know the true glory at the beginning of the 20th century, when it became queen of the ornamental world of Art Nouveau, the current that from Japonism he rediscovered the beauty and decorative elegance of organic forms. Always pinned to the rever of suits and coats in the 50s and 60s, today the jewel butterfly is celebrated in this pendant necklace as the perfect embodiment of the desire for freedom. Perhaps because its beauty is one of nature's masterpieces, it has tickled the imagination of many artists.

Vintage Chain Necklaces

Vintage chain necklaces can make a statement on their own. What’s better than eye-catching chains of yellow gold or subtle silver to accessorize with everything from a designer evening dress to a comfortable sweatshirt?

Personal ornament in general has been around for eons. Ancient Egyptians designed jewelry and wore necklaces, rings and other accessories, and the excavation of King Tut’s burial chamber in 1922 had the greatest impact on Art Deco jewelry. When chain necklaces first took on some visibility in ancient civilizations, these items weren’t exactly democratic.

Chain necklaces were accessories that were relegated strictly to royal families and the upper class. In ancient times, pendant necklaces conferred prestige, for example. Wealthy Greeks and Romans opted for gold and silver necklaces that featured ornate pendants and semiprecious stones. By the Renaissance period, the pendant had replaced the brooch as the most worn type of jewelry. Pendant necklaces were commonplace, or pendants were simply strung on long gold chains.

Thankfully, jewelry became more accessible over time. And trends have come and gone, but the popularity of chain necklaces today owes in part to hip-hop culture. Big, chunky gold chains and diamond necklaces were the order of the day in publicity shoots and on album covers for rappers in the early 1980s onward, and a gold chain is still a mainstay in the ever-evolving and broadening hip-hop culture as we know it.

In our modern era, a number of chain-link necklaces are trending, worn alone or layered. The stylish links that have passed the test of time include oval links, paper-clip chains and more. The best way to discover your perfect fit is to zero in on a particular name and type of link.

While it was once key to accessorizing for a formal event, a vintage chain necklace now adds a fresh dynamic to any outfit at any time of day. Find yours on 1stDibs.
