Carved Ametrine Gold Necklace
Located in Chesterland, OH
One of the rarest and most beautiful natural gemstones, Ametrine is a uniquely lovely bi-colored combination of Amethyst and Citrine Quartz. Ametrine, also known as trystine or by its trade name as bolivianite, is a naturally occurring variety of quartz. The ametrine is mined in the Anahi Mine, which is located in the La Gaiba area of Santa Cruz, Bolivia. Because there is only one commercial source of ametrine, the supply is very limited. The length of the necklace is 20.5 inches (52 cm). The size of the beads varies from 17.5 to 28mm. The beads are of very high quality and very beautifully carved. Faceted beads in twist shape. The ametrine displays the gentle violet of amethyst along with the softer and paler orange-yellow of citrine. The beads are transparent. Authentic, natural color. No thermal or other mechanical treatments were used. The necklace is fastened with an 18K gold clasp (750 gold stamp), natural pearl, and a safety mechanism. Ametrine beads...

Vintage and Antique Pearl Jewelry

The pearl has been synonymous with ladylike elegance since the Tudor period — learn what to look for when shopping for vintage and antique pearl jewelry as well as how to tell the origin of a pearl with our handy primer.

Every woman at some point in her life desires a simple strand of pearls. They are elegant, timeless, versatile — just ask Coco Chanel or Jacqueline Kennedy — and valuable. In 1917, Pierre Cartier famously traded a double-strand of natural pearls for a Fifth Avenue mansion, the Cartier brand’s flagship store ever since. And if you were born in the beginning of summer, pearl is the June birthstone.

It is possible to tell where a pearl originated from its appearance. Akoyas are usually round and white — the classic pearl, if you will. South Sea pearls are normally larger and vary in color; orangey yellow ones are not uncommon. Tahitian pearls are mostly black but can also be gray or brown, and between the Akoya and the South Sea varieties in size. Freshwater pearls, or Orientals, run the gamut in terms of color and size, but in shape, they tend to resemble Rice Krispies. Another important distinction is a round pearl versus a baroque pearl. A round pearl is self-explanatory, but there are two types of baroque pearls: symmetrical and asymmetrical. In general, the symmetrical variation commands a higher valuation. Within a strand of pearls, uniformity is prized — the more the individual pearls resemble one another, the more valuable the strand.

According to the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), the earliest recorded mention of a pearl was in 2206 BC by a Chinese historian. Centuries later, Christopher Columbus made it a point to visit pearl fisheries during his 15th-century exploration of the Caribbean. Since the late-19th century, the Japanese have been at the forefront of cultivating pearls, when jeweler Kokichi Mikimoto successfully cultured the world’s first pearl in 1893.

On 1stDibs, find vintage and antique pearl necklaces, pearl earrings and other accessories.
