AJD 24 Inch Necklace of Polished Rhodonite and Rose Quartz Great Gift!!
Located in Tuxedo Park, NY
Pink and mauvy/raspberry together make this necklace pop. Rhodonite is such a lovely gemstone. It is basically various shades of pink with black manganese oxide dendrite. These gemstones are highly polished and are so complementary to the Rose Quartz. Rose Quartz is a variation of the quartz mineral which is clear when pure. As far back as 800 BC the Assyrians were crafting rose quartz into precious jewelry. The Greeks used it, as well as the Egyptians, and the Romans. All these civilizations believed in the elegant and rare Rose Quartz. It is linked to Aphrodite and Adonis. It was said to encourage the quality of unconditional love. It was used to remove negative thoughts and bring the wearer into positive love and balance. Now mined in many parts of the world, rose quartz varies from a delicate pale pink to stronger shades. Some rose quartz is transparent however most is translucent or cloudy which gives it its magical color. It is said to have many healing properties. Those with heart problems, including circulatory and heart attacks are encouraged to keep rose quartz close. Also, a healer of emotional heart aches, keep rose quartz near you to heal emotional wounds. Rose quartz is also said to strengthen the bonds between mother and her unborn child. Gold tone flutters accents both gemstones in this unique 24 inch necklace...

Diamond Rings, Luxury Watches and Other Antique and Vintage Fine Jewelry and Estate Jewelry

Our love for diamond rings, luxury watches and other antique and vintage fine jewelry and estate jewelry goes back thousands of years.

Jewelry has long been a symbol of spiritual strength, wealth or power and, of course, a means of personal expression. While materials and processes employed by the world’s most popular jewelry housesTiffany & Co., Cartier, BVLGARI and others — have evolved over time, humans still gravitate toward many of the same accessories that our ancestors wore.

Ancient Egyptians were often hard at work designing jewelry and adorning themselves with an array of necklaces, rings and other items, and nearly every Egyptian, rich or poor, was buried with some kind of jewelry. When King Tut’s burial chamber was excavated, it revealed a sense of style that inspired Art Deco jewelry designs.

Brooches and pins remain essentials in our jewelry boxes, although we no longer require them to fasten our garments, as was once their primary use. Rings, which have always been signifiers of eternity, still serve as romantic gifts and tokens of affection. Antique, new and vintage engagement rings, even if it can be difficult to choose the right one, are still widely recognized as symbols of love and commitment. [Fun fact: It wasn’t until the 14th century that we learned how to effectively cut diamonds, a critical step in revealing the stone’s brilliance.]

Hoop earrings are imbued with symbolism and cultural significance for many, and on view in the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Ancient Near Eastern Art Gallery is a pair of simple gold hoops from Mesopotamia dating to between 2600 and 2500 B.C. We’ve even created our own new, sacred symbols — the Cartier Love bracelet, for example, with its distinctive locking mechanism, is an understated and modernist symbol of love’s promise (with its own captivating history to boot). And, crafted by French jeweler Jacques Arpels of Van Cleef & Arpels, the Magic Alhambra necklace channels luck for the wearer with its universally adored design, which is informed by four-leaf clovers, a plant synonymous with good fortune.

Whether it’s our sentimental charm jewelry, chunky retro bracelets or minimalist earrings created by the likes of contemporary designers WHITE/SPACE and Agmes, luxurious jewels can elevate any outfit, regardless of your personal style.

Find a wide-ranging collection of authentic antique, new and vintage jewelry today on 1stDibs.
