Alvaro Correnti Victorian Revival 18k Gold Pearl, Ruby, Diamond, Snake Necklace

About the Item

This intricate pearl necklace, a fine example of Alvaro Correnti's craftsmanship, encapsulates the elegance and refined taste of Victorian Revival jewelry. Created in Italy around the 1950s, the piece is an homage to the grandeur of the Victorian era, which is characterized by elaborate and ornate designs, with a particular affection for intricate detailing and romantic motifs. The necklace features multiple strands of what appear to be natural seed pearls, their origin untested, which drape a silky texture. The pearls embody the piece’s delicate aesthetic and exemplify the era's admiration for the beauty of natural gemstones. The centerpiece and clasp, crafted in 18-karat yellow gold, display a serpentine form, a motif popular in Victorian jewelry, symbolizing wisdom and eternal love. The warm gold is beautifully patinated and enhanced with rubies and diamonds, adding a hint of color to the pearls' iridescence. This revival piece exhibits the eternally classic sensibilities of Victorian design, adapted to the techniques of the mid-20th century Italian jewelry tradition. Etched into the gold is the hallmark 'ALVARO CORRENTI', along with the '750' stamp indicating the gold purity of 18 karat. The additional Italian hallmarks provide clues to its origin, with the '1 ME' signifying the province of Milan, which is known for its rich history of intricate craftsmanship and artistry, a heritage carried forward by Alvaro Correnti. While the full history of the maker Alvaro Correnti may not be widely documented, this piece stands as a testament to the meticulous skill and artistic vision prevalent in Italian jewelry. The artisanship reflects a deep understanding of the Victorian style and an exceptional skill in jewelry making, both hallmarks of Italian craftsmanship from the period. This necklace is not merely a piece of jewelry but a woven tapestry of cultural and historical narratives, meant for admiration and wear. Length: 19" Condition: In good vintage condition with patina and scratches. This is an extremely delicate piece and must be handled with the upmost care.
