Jill Garber Antique Austro Hungarian Garnet, Ruby and Seed Pearl Drop Necklace
Located in Saginaw, MI
During the Georgian Period, the Austro-Hungarian Empire became a notable place to purchase some of the most finely crafted jewelry in the world. By the 1800’s, jewelers of this region began combining shimmering experimental pastes, precious and semi-precious gemstones, seed pearls and enamel into mountings crafted in fine silver with gold vermeil and elaborate filigree metalwork. This important drop necklace, with six Mother of Pearl festoons, integrates a romantic combination of rose-cut garnets, rubies, delicate seed pearls, and a variety of old pastes into divine Austro Hungarian links with a bold drop. Jill has created a wonderfully ornate chain comprised of eight antique Austro Hungarian links and ten newly-cut natural garnet cabochons. Each deep red oval garnet is exquisitely mounted within a beaded filigree frame. At the base of the chaining, an Austro Hungarian flower forms the crowning element for the glorious large drop. • Eight fine antique Austro Hungarian filigree links of natural garnets, rubies, seed pearls, and old cut pastes • Ten sterling silver filigree framed links containing 8 x 10 mm natural garnets • Two 10mm and six 8mm Mother of Pearl cabochon drops • 1.75 inch diameter Antique Austro Hungarian pendant...

Vintage Drop Necklaces

Also called Y necklaces as they are designed to hang a certain way, vintage drop necklaces are striking and adaptable. They can enhance everything from a casual sweater-and-jeans combo to an elegant heels-and-evening-dress pairing.

Adornment is an ancient human practice, with archeologists identifying early jewelry made from bones, claws and shells. As technology has advanced, so too have jewelry designs and the design of necklaces, from the simple to the intricate.

Drop necklaces come from lariat-style necklaces, which are chain necklaces that end in a tassel or pendant. A drop necklace’s design, meanwhile, is long with open ends, and it usually does not have a clasp. It consists of a single chain that wraps around the neck and a centerpiece — sometimes featuring a diamond or pearls — that hangs down to the middle of the chest. Drop necklaces frequently come in lengths from 16 to 20 inches, with the vertical lines making them appear longer than other necklaces of the same length.

Drop necklaces are extremely versatile, able to be worn knotted, draped or looped. They can be chunky statement pieces or thin, minimal designs. The range of drop necklaces that can be found on 1stDibs can accentuate the plunging necklines of modern looks or add flair to a basic ensemble.
