Egyption Revival Sterling Plate Necklace Egyption Circa 1916
About the Item
This unique, dramatic necklace was created from sterling silver early in the twentieth century —near 1920— at the height of the Egyptian Revival period. The necklace features 7 silver plaques, each of which is highly detailed, depicting war, music, and royalty. A pair of scarab beetles and two ornamental plaques depicting stylized wheat or grass complete the piece. The 16" necklace closes with a simple hook. Each of the plaques is marked with Egyptian silver marks from the era. A date mark is on one side of the clasp.
The workmanship is incredible; the closer you look at the piece, the more beautiful it becomes, even the smallest detail has been painstakingly rendered. Several costume-jewelry replicas of this piece were created but this is the hallmarked original.
Rare and quite beautiful.

- Gump's Jade Necklace, circa 1960sBy Gump's San FranciscoLocated in Southbury, CTThe luminous untreated jadeite jade beads that compose this 20" necklace are so faintly light green, that they appear white. Well, but not white; not really, because they are far too fascinating to be merely white like a piece of paper or a sheet. It is as if an apparition has assumed bead form and settled around the neck. These gorgeous, succulent beads seem filled with a reserve of light they have gathered during the day in order to release back into the night like a whisper. If you like pearls but wish for something denser, more grounded in the material world, these may be for you. They do look like pearls from a distance, a pristine strand of vintage cultured Akoya pearls. But then, up close, what are they? White sapphires? What could they be? Most people, of course, have no idea jade is anything other than green. The individual beads measure approximately 8.5mm for a clean, unified presentation around the neck. I am a second-generation collector of jade and have loved Gump's jade jewelry all my life. Gump's was an iconic San Francisco department store that was founded in the 19th century and awed the world with their remarkable and unique pieces until 2005 when they were sold. Gump's never used any dyed or treated jade in any of their jewelry, so they remain one of very few brands that you never need to have tested; vintage Gump...Category

- Classic Pearl Necklace NewLocated in Southbury, CTThis classic 19" pearl necklace is composed of 50 cultured freshwater pearls from China that range in size from 8.5mm to 10mm, with most being 9mm or larger. The pearls have been hand-strung on thick, sturdy white silk and knotted between each pearl. Instead of being strung from smallest to largest, the pearls were selected at random. This has the effect of creating a necklace that appears uniform in size overall. It is finished with a rhodium-plated silver clasp. The pearls are round to near-round and have thick, luxurious nacre. Chinese freshwater pearls now rival Japanese cultured Akoya pearls...Category
