Late 19th Century Indian Diamond Ruby Spinel Almandine Emerald Gold Necklace

About the Item

A necklace, consisting of seven minutely worked gold pendants, hung from a gold chain of linked vertical, polygonal units. Each pendant has an open worked, stylized arrowhead shape, set with diamonds and alternately rubies, spinel, almandine, and emerald. The diamond in each pendant is set in a silver mount. Five bunches of small pearls are hung from each pendant. The reverse of each pendant shows a minutely embossed work of blooming flowers. India, Andrah Pradesh, late 19th century. The form of an arrowhead had had great symbolic meaning since ancient times. The stone arrowhead spearheads and axes were among man’s earliest lethal weapons. The power to end a life was highly respected by the ancients, and the instruments themselves were regarded as magical. Even the mere form of the arrowhead was believed to possess the power to destroy the evil spirits. To obtain this protection, a pendant in the form of an arrowhead was worn around the neck. Eventually, the simple arrowhead evolved into a more stylised and embellished form, although the decorations should reinforce the amulet’s auspicious power. Seven is, as is nine, a very auspicious number for Hindus. Hindu cosmology conceives of the universe as containing seven planets and two personifications of the moon cycle, all designated as celestial deities. The seven planets correspond with seven Hindu gods and the seven days of the week. The white light from the sun is a combination of seven colours of the spectrum. Each planet sends of one colour. It is believed that the sunlight, so as such each of the seven cosmic colors, have a special effect on every living creature on earth.
