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...

Antique, New and Vintage Necklaces

We are fortunate to know much of the world’s long and dazzling history of necklaces, as this type of jewelry was so treasured that it was frequently buried with its owners.

Lapis lazuli beads adorned necklaces unearthed from the royal graves at the ancient Iraqi civilization of Sumer, while the excavation of King Tut’s burial chamber revealed a sense of style that led to a frenzy of Art Deco designs, with artisans of the 1920s seeking to emulate the elegant work crafted by Ancient Egypt’s goldsmiths and jewelry makers. 

In ancient times, pendant necklaces worn by royalty and nobles conferred wealth and prestige. Today, wearing jewelry is about personal expression: Luxury diamond necklaces exude confidence and can symbolize the celebratory nature of a deep romantic relationship, while paper-clip chain-link necklaces designed by the likes of goldsmith Faye Kim are firmly planted in the past as well as the present. Kim works exclusively with eco-friendly gold, and these fashionable, fun accessories owe to the design of 19th-century watch fobs. 

For some, necklaces are thought of as being a solely feminine piece, but this widely loved accessory has been gender-neutral for eons. In fact, just as women rarely took to wearing a single necklace during the Renaissance, men of the era layered chains and valuable pendants atop their bejeweled clothing. In modern times, the free-spirited hippie and counterculture movements of the 1960s saw costume-jewelry designers celebrating self-expression through colorful multistrand necklaces and no shortage of beads, which were worn by anyone and everyone. 

Even after all of these years, the necklace remains an irrefutable staple of any complete outfit. Although new trends in jewelry are constantly emerging, the glamour and beauty of the past continue to inform modern styles and designs. In a way, the cyclical history of the necklace differs little from its familiar looped form: The celebrated French jewelry house Van Cleef & Arpels found much inspiration in King Tut, and, now, their Alhambra collection is a go-to for modern royals. Vintage necklaces designed by David Webb — whose work landed him on the cover of Vogue in 1950, two years after opening his Manhattan shop — were likely inspired by the ornamental styles of ancient Greece, Mesopotamia and Egypt

On 1stDibs, browse top designers like Cartier, Tiffany & Co. and Bvlgari, or shop by your favorite style, from eye-catching choker necklaces to understated links to pearl necklaces and more.
