20th Century

Hand crafted entirely of solid 22K yellow gold, the woven cord body of the necklace mimicing a cowboy's rope, held together with a heavy circular bolo slide, ending in attractive spiral form aiguillette tips. Almost certainly a unique, one-of-a-kind custom piece. This neklace may be worn as a bolo tie or as a classic woven chain with the bolo at the back and is adjustible to length.
Luna Felix is a world renown goldsmith, specializing in ancient, highly precise techniques and one-of-a-kind jewelry. Her eponymous gallery is based in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
The bolo tie is the unofficial symbol of freedom and Southwestern style. It is said to have been invented in the 1940's in Arizona when a cowboy named Victor Cedarstaff, tired of loosing his silver trimmed hatband to the wind, slipped it around his neck and fashioned the first bola (the name derived from boleadora, an Argentine lariat). The bolo tie became the official neckwear in AZ in 1971, followed by NM in 1987 and TX in 2007. Attracting world-wide interest, the bolo was popular in the UK in the 50's, in the 80' and 90's in Japan, China and Korea and back in the States in 2014 when Maclemore and Bruno Mars chose the bolo for their Grammy appearances. More recently, much has been written about Beyonce's Cowboy Carter suit making the bolo tie look black tie.

- Rare Etruscan Revival 18K Gold Locket Necklace attr. Eugene Fontenay, Paris 1870By Eugene FontenayLocated in New York, NYLarge, 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. Eugene Fontenay...Category
