Vintage Artisan 14k Amber and Gold Necklace

About the Item

This vintage 14k gold necklace has a sculptural feel, with a rhythm of repeating textures and shapes. The chunky tubular segments are richly detailed with a mix of abstract patterns, some geometric, others more organic. This ornate surface gives it an artifact-like presence. Between the gold segments are three polished amber elements, two in a warm honey tone and one in deep black. Their curved forms contrast with the more angular gold sections, adding a sense of play between structure and fluidity. The clasp, with a decorative ball near the hook, matches the rest of the necklace in both tone and detail. It’s a piece that feels striking in a relaxed way. The necklace is 19.5" long. About vintage jewelry Vintage jewelry is a broad topic with multiple aspects to discuss. We decided to answer a few basic questions to provide a broad introduction to this captivating subject. So, what defines vintage jewelry? Why is it so appealing? And how does one navigate the optimal way to buy vintage jewelry online? In the industry, different sellers and makers have different opinions regarding the specific timeframes characterizing the creation of vintage jewels. Here at Nadine Krakov, our definition places vintage within the bracket of anything produced between 50 and 100 years ago. Consequently, we label all jewelry crafted from 1930 to 1980 as vintage. This time frame comprises Art Deco, Retro and Mid-Century styles. Why do we love vintage jewelry so much? It’s all about the quality of making and, of course, the aesthetic. Vintage pieces were mostly made by hand or at least hand-finished while modern jewels are mainly cast. As the lifestyle back in the days was much slower, jewelry makers literally had more time in their hands. Skilled craftsmen honed their craft and reputation. They couldn’t allow a flimsy, poorly done piece to ruin that. Mass market jewelry didn’t exist at that time. Each little detail of a piece was executed thoughtfully and with the high quality in mind. All the above is especially important when you are looking for a vintage engagement ring. If you want to find a special, one-of-a-kind engagement ring, look no further because we’ve got you covered. Either it’s a perfect diamond ring or a stunning color gemstone ring, we have a great variety to choose from. How to shop your vintage jewelry online? Ask questions about the maker's marks and hallmarks, request a video of the piece, and show it to your jeweler. The easiest way to be confident with your purchase is to find a trustworthy, reputable seller.
