Betony Vernon "YOU ARE MINE" Necklace Medium Sterling Silver 925
Located in Rome, IT
The "YOU ARE MINE" Necklace was designed by Betony Vernon in 2004 and manufactured in lost wax elements in in Sterling Silver 925. The “YOU ARE MINE” necklace is constructed with Vernon's O-Ring Signature chain and locket. This rare prototype is part of the BV archive in Paris. The Sterling Silver 925 pendant locket is also the closure of the necklace which includes a set of two Sterling Silver 925 keys. The keys may be attached to any BV O-Ring Jewel or worn directly on the O-ring mechanism that is present on the locket itself. How to Adorn: The locket closure on this exclusive collector jewel is handcrafted so the key must be used both to lock and unlock the necklace. Note: Locking up the one you love can make a strong psychological impact. It is a very direct way to say both "I love you” and “YOU ARE MINE” my sweet Valentine! Refer to chapter 10 (The Joy Of Play) in Vernon’s book The Boudoir Bible...

Vintage Chain Necklaces

Vintage chain necklaces can make a statement on their own. What’s better than eye-catching chains of yellow gold or subtle silver to accessorize with everything from a designer evening dress to a comfortable sweatshirt?

Personal ornament in general has been around for eons. Ancient Egyptians designed jewelry and wore necklaces, rings and other accessories, and the excavation of King Tut’s burial chamber in 1922 had the greatest impact on Art Deco jewelry. When chain necklaces first took on some visibility in ancient civilizations, these items weren’t exactly democratic.

Chain necklaces were accessories that were relegated strictly to royal families and the upper class. In ancient times, pendant necklaces conferred prestige, for example. Wealthy Greeks and Romans opted for gold and silver necklaces that featured ornate pendants and semiprecious stones. By the Renaissance period, the pendant had replaced the brooch as the most worn type of jewelry. Pendant necklaces were commonplace, or pendants were simply strung on long gold chains.

Thankfully, jewelry became more accessible over time. And trends have come and gone, but the popularity of chain necklaces today owes in part to hip-hop culture. Big, chunky gold chains and diamond necklaces were the order of the day in publicity shoots and on album covers for rappers in the early 1980s onward, and a gold chain is still a mainstay in the ever-evolving and broadening hip-hop culture as we know it.

In our modern era, a number of chain-link necklaces are trending, worn alone or layered. The stylish links that have passed the test of time include oval links, paper-clip chains and more. The best way to discover your perfect fit is to zero in on a particular name and type of link.

While it was once key to accessorizing for a formal event, a vintage chain necklace now adds a fresh dynamic to any outfit at any time of day. Find yours on 1stDibs.
