1900s, Antique Pearl and Diamond Gold Pendant
Located in Jesmond, Newcastle Upon Tyne
A fine and impressive antique pearl and 0.13 carat diamond pendant in 14 karat white and yellow gold; part of our authentic collection of Art Nouveau style jewelry/jewelry. This fine European Art Nouveau style antique pearl and diamond pendant has been crafted in 14k white and yellow gold. The articulated pendant has three main components: the uppermost setting has an iconic Art Nouveau style pierced and millegrain decorated frame embellished with four Old European round cut diamonds and a feature pearl. Six more pearls ornament the central portion of the linear style vertical link, which is accented at either end with Old European round cut diamonds set in subtle relief to the domed, millegrain decorated terminals. The articulated, target style drop design is embellished with a central bezel set Old European round cut diamond, encircled by two concentric bands, and an outer wire set border threaded with twelve, freely moving 3mm pearls. This border is accented with a bezel set Old European round cut diamond at the junction with the vertical link. This impressive antique pearl and diamond pendant is suspended from the 40.5cm/16", 14ct white gold trace chain via two integrated loops at each end of the Art Nouveau style setting. This early 1900s pendant is supplied with an independent diamond grading report card. This pendant has been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as 14k gold. Images do not always reflect the true color and brilliance of gemstones and diamonds. The video however provides a truer representation of the actual color and showcases each stone.

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.
