About the Item

An impressive Georgian Riviera necklace made of 14k rose gold and silver, featuring rose cut diamonds. “Riviera” is a style of a necklace named for the Mediterranean coastline as something reflecting the luxury and sparkle of the area’s lifestyle. It’s crafted as a continuous line of gemstones, usually diamonds, that are of the same or graduating size and shape. The gems are set closely together, creating a seamless sparkle encircling the neck. The stones are often set in prong, bezel, or channel settings that are designed to be as discreet as possible. For this necklace rose cut diamonds are graduated in size from larger gems in the middle to the smaller towards the ends. There is a largest diamond set in the closure. The prongs are silver and shaped as petals around the diamonds. This design creates a beautiful airy effect for the massive diamonds. The base of each setting is rose gold. The necklace has a tiny safety chain. This stunning riviera necklace is made of silver and 14 karat (tested) yellow gold and features thirty-eight rose cut diamonds. Diamond total weight is approximately 35 carats. The antique necklace is 16 ½” (42 centimeters) long, its width graduates from ½” (1.3 centimeter) in the center to ¼” (0.7 centimeters) at the clasp. The necklace weighs 52.9 grams. About Georgian Jewelry: The Georgian period, named after the reigns of the four King Georges of England (1714-1830), is a dynamic and evolving era for jewelry design. Early Georgian jewelry often reflected the Baroque and Rococo styles, with elaborate and intricate details. As the period progressed, the influence of Neoclassicism became more pronounced, with motifs inspired by ancient Greece and Rome becoming popular. Jewelry from this time was typically handcrafted, as mass production techniques had not yet been developed. This means that each piece from the Georgian era is unique, with variations that reflect the individual taste of the jeweler. Georgian jewelers employed a variety of materials. Diamonds were often set in silver, as it was believed to enhance their sparkle, while colored gemstones were typically set in gold. The use of paste, a type of leaded glass, was also common for simulating the appearance of precious stones. Designs were rich and varied, as cultural influences of the time came from symbolism and nature. For example, anchors representing hope or snakes symbolizing eternity. Cameos and intaglios, with carved gemstones or shells, were highly prized. Girandole earrings featuring a central element with three dangling components came from the Georgian era. Jewelry in that time was often designed for specific occasions. For instance, mourning jewelry was crafted to commemorate loved ones, featuring somber designs and materials like jet or black enamel. Such gifts as sentimental jewelry, with lover’s eye miniatures or lockets containing hair, were widely popular. We love Georgian jewelry due to its rarity and the craftsmanship it represents. Its designs provide a glimpse into the fashion and culture of 18th and early 19th-century Europe.
