About the Item

Indulge in an absolutely fantastic Buddha and Goldstone Necklace from the estate of the legendary Raquel Welch! The magnificent jewel features an antique pendant in stone that is hand carved with a depiction of the seated Buddha. The buddha is set in silver. The buddha is attached with a leather wrap to a magnificent antique Goldstone beaded necklace. This necklace has powerful meaning with the image of the buddha along with the Goldstone. Goldstone fosters self impowerment, vitality and the ability to build something new. It conveys the power to boost self esteem and to move forward into the future with confidence and conviction. I also love the leather wrap element which is so evocative of Raquel's iconic cave woman image! Here is your opportunity to own a piece of Hollywood History from one of the most iconic sex symbols of the 20th Century. The necklace is perfectly wonderful and captures the magic and sensuality of the one and only Raquel Welch. Raquel loved this necklace and wore it often. Raquel Welch (1940 – 2023) first gained attention for her roles in Fantastic Voyage (1966), and One Million Years B.C. (1966). Although Welch had only three lines of dialogue in the film, images of her in the doe-skin bikini became bestselling posters that turned her into an international sex symbol. Through her portrayal of strong female characters, helping her break the mold of the traditional sex symbol, Welch developed a unique film persona that made her an icon of the 1960s and 1970s. Her rise to stardom in the mid-1960s was partly credited with ending Hollywood's vigorous promotion of the blonde bombshell. Her love scene with Jim Brown in 100 Rifles also made cinematic history with their portrayal of interracial intimacy. She won a Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture Actress in a Musical or Comedy in 1974 for The Three Musketeers. Playboy ranked Welch No. 3 on their "100 Sexiest Stars of the Twentieth Century" list. The necklace is 15 inches long. The goldstone beads are 4-5mm in diameter. The pendant is 7/8 inch tall including the bales. Without the bale it is 20mm tall and is 15mm wide. The clasp is silver. The necklace weighs 16.8 grams. We also have jewels from the estates of Lawrence Olivier, Opera Legend Jessye Norman, Broadway and Hollywood Legend Chita Rivera, Mexican American singer Vikki Carr, Hollywood Legend Lauren Bacall, Hollywood Writers Jackie Collins and Barbara Taylor Bradford, Hollywood Legend Ginger Rogers, and actress Sylvia Miles - Academy Award nominee for Midnight Cowboy, Actress Celeste Holm, Senator Diane Feinstein, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright's Pins, and jewels worn by the legendary performer Carol Channing - please ask us!
