Cat'sEye 21 BallCut Moonstones Antique Victorian 14KGoldFill TubularLinkNecklace

About the Item

All featuring white cat's-eyes, the 21 gray 3mm ball-cut moonstones of this necklace are beaded symmetrically on this antique choker between stations of shiny 14-karat gold-filled tubes that are bracketed by gold ball spacers. Resembling modern minimal Cartier tube-link designs, the Victorian-period necklace has a delicate extension chain that ends in a gold ball and that fastens with a spring-ring clap, which is stamped "1/20 14KGF". It could date as early as 1876 when the Arts & Crafts movement spread to the United States, whereafter throughout the Art Nouveau period moonstones were popular in collar necklaces until WWI. The polished moonstones look like pearls until their adularescence of diffused light from within provokes a closer look at the sharply-defined glowing vertical slits of white sheen caused by the phenomenon of chatoyancy. This gold-beaded necklace is ideal for eye-catching everyday jewelry that contributes to defining one's style. The cat's-eye moonstone is uniquely valued for its magical optical effect that has been associated with reflective white moon-beams on bodies of water and belief in spirits that appear as such luminous entities.

MiramHaskell c1930 Stamped Brass FloralMotif Pendants Link Chain Choker Necklace
By Miriam Haskell
Located in Chicago, IL
Featuring stamped-brass findings c1930, this Miriam Haskell collar necklace was made by her first designer Frank Hess in an Art-Nouveau style with ornate floral motifs for its 15 dangling bud-shaped or fluted-ball pendants, along with intricate textural patterns on the stamped bands that link the oval-ring chain choker. Among the festoon of graduating charms, the largest centered pendant is 1.5 inches long and 0.75 inches in diameter. One of our photos show that the surprisingly light-weight pendants are hollow--some with a hole punched at the bottom. The distinct stamped bands, which include a fold-over clasp, are found in more obviously Haskell-Hess pre-WWII jewelry...
