Rare Etruscan Revival 18K Gold Locket Necklace attr. Eugene Fontenay, Paris 1870
Located in New York, NY
Large, stunning granulated antique French Etruscan Revival locket with the original, equally spectacular large chain. The oval locket exquisitely decorated with a technique known as granulation, where a tiny gold bead is individually applied to a surface to form a geometric pattern. Done entirely by hand and requiring a master goldsmith, this technique is thought to have originated in Sumer approximately 5000 years ago. The Etruscans mastered the process in the first millennium B.C and closely guarded its secret, becoming celebrated for creating some of the most beautiful and technically advanced gold jewelry ever made.
Condition: This piece is in very good condition retaining the original interior crystal, the hinges work very well and are precisely calibrated to stay open in place when desired. The back of the locket shows normal wear with just the slightest waviness. The chain is in excellent condition.
Composed as a pendant locket on its original chain, the oval gold links reeded on the interior and applied chain link on the exterior, the oval locket decorated with twisted wirework circles and fine applied granulation patterns, suspended from a long bale with quatrefoil granulation. Hinged on the side, opening to reveal a hinged glass panel for a personal memento.
French assay mark and maker's mark partially obscured
Confident attribution to Fontenay based on partial hallmark and similar published examples.
References: Wartski for gold enamelled locket on chain necklace, sold archives; DSF for gold enamelled locket pendant of similar workmanship and design. Fontenay pieces retaining the original chain which may be worn on its own are rare and desirable.

Victorian Holbeinesque Emerald, Diamond and Pearl Pendant
Located in London, GB
A Victorian Holbeinesque emerald, diamond and pearl pendant, to the centre a square-cut emerald estimated to weigh 1.75 carats, cross-set with four pearls with trefoil enamelled decorations in between, surrounded by a polychrome enamel frame encrusted with eight old-cut diamonds estimated to weigh a total of 2 carats, terminating to a drop of similar design centrally-set with an emerald estimated to weight 0.75, all mounted in yellow gold, the back with fine scroll and foliate engraved decorations, circa 1870, measuring approximately 7.3 x 3cm, gross weight 16.5 grams.
This handsome Victorian Holbeinesque pendant comes from the collection of Bentley & Skinner, the London jewellers by appointment to both Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. Holbeinesque is a term used to describe Victorian jewellery that was made in the style of the Renaissance, particularly inspired by the Northern Renaissance and the paintings of Hans Holbein. Holbein himself produced sketches of the jewellery worn at the Tudor court, and the sketches were used as reference points by Victorian jewellery designers and craftsmen. This pendant is a spectacular example of this style, featuring colourful green and red enamel, verdant emeralds, lustrous pearls, and dazzling diamonds. The ornate style of this piece reflects the high Victorian interest in Renaissance revival jewellery...

Ancient Byzantine Gold Cabochon Carnelian Double Sided Cross, 6-7th Century A.D.
Located in New York, NY
The shape and form of this rare cross is known as Thor's Cross or the Cross of Cuthbert, a Celtic Christian associated with the Kingdom of Northumbria and Southern Scotland. After his death, Cuthbert became the most revered saint of Northern England. His Feast Days are March 20 (Eastern Orthodox Church, Church of England), August 31 (Episcopal Church) and September 4 (Roman Catholic Church, Church of Wales).
Ancient jewelry has an unparallel way of taking us to a time past, connecting the individual taste for the unusual with a certain mysticism associated with objects that are hundreds of years old. It sparks conversations about fascinating periods in history, artistic style elements and symbolic meanings.

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.
