Art Deco Marcasite and Onyx Sterling Silver Necklace

About the Item

This is a very fine example of a sterling silver, onyx and marcasite jewelry from the Art Deco period. The design is adapted from High Jewelry of the Art Deco Period and heavily influenced by Cartier et. al. The look is very elegant. The craftsmanship is superb as is the design. The marcasite stones are hand set into sterling silver and catch the light in a sparkling fashion similar to small diamonds. Marcasite jewelry has a long history dating from ancient times . This jewelry gained tremendous popularity under Queen Victoria after Albert's death. The Queen required the court to abstain from opulent jewelry and to avoid opulent jewelry and required her court to wear black. During this period marcasite and onyx became quite popular with the English court and aristocracy. Marcasite had a tremendous revival during the 1920s and 30s of the 20th Century as a substitute from the diamond jewelry of the time.

Celadon Jade , black onyx , emerald and coral necklace
Located in New Orleans, LA
Dramatic necklace in high Art Deco style. In fact many of the elements in the piece were from a partially destroyed period piece including the celadon jade elements. The colored coral was original as well. I took some liberties in what were the remnants of the original by adding emerald carved turban beads and the black onyx open rings which are frequently in Deco jewels. I added the tassel as I felt that after completing the necklace there was something missing. The shaded emerald beads together with onyx tubes and small coral beads...
