AncientRevival Gold MotifRondelles Carnelian Beads Knotted BlackSilk Necklace

About the Item

Featuring yellow-gold sinuous-pattern rondelles and carnelian rock-crystal round 8mm beads, this ancient-revival heavy necklace is knotted in stations along a black silk cord. The gold 8mm rondelles are textured in high-relief with alternating loops that each enclose a tiny ball. Given that Italian jewelers started revival trends based on their first-hand observation since the 1830s of archaeological ancient treasures maintained by the Vatican, the necklace most likely dates to the early Victorian period. This would explain why it needed to be restrung after a century, while it now has a modern parrot clasp often found in Italian jewelry. The clasp-thumb is stamped on both sides "14/20 GF". Although none are stamped with gold marks, the artistic rondelles are more richly colored than the clasp so appear to be much finer gold.

  • MiriamHaskell 1930s Hess TorsadeSet GiltFiligreeCap FauxPearls Earrings & Choker
    By Frank Hess for Miriam Haskell
    Located in Chicago, IL
    During the Art Deco period, Miriam Haskell's first designer Frank Hess designed this blue-and-white glass-beaded hand-sewn torsade set of dangle earrings and a choker necklace, whose knotted string is capped with their characteristic Russian-gilt brass flora filigree. Coinciding with the American Great Depression, to offer some less expensive costume jewelry than her initial ready-to-wear styles featuring Parisian hand-crafted materials found in French couture, Haskell reduced the cost of some of her findings by locally sourcing stamped metal and incorporating hand-pressed glass beads from Germany and Czechoslovakia. With a loop, the line from hand pressing the glass can only be found on the blue beads, while the white ones are coated in an organic material like authentic French faux pearls. The ends of the textured cords that string the beaded set were frayed to form a fuzzy opaque dome that hides the knots attached to the filigree caps. No Haskell jewelry was signed before 1947. The unsigned necklace...
