Unique Piece Unisex Horse 18K Gold Black Agate Citrine Hammered Carved Charme
Located in Rome, IT
Rossella Ugolini Design Collection, for the Horse Lovers a nice charme pendant handcrafted in a hammered 18 karat Yellow Gold bezel adorned with beautiful Black Onyx and white Agate horse hand carved with a round Citrine briolette cut set in a round griffe. The carved Black horse is rare and unique hand carved stone. Is the last one available. A jewel to wear together for a total rider look or to wear just showing it off as an equestrian element. Here is an 18K Yellow Gold Charm to purchase today to add a riding allure to your wardrobe. The foreboding that the equestrian style would become one of the trends of the season has strengthened. Perfect balance of elegance and sportiness, the riding style is as much in the detail of a calf boot as in the attitude with which it is combined with a blazer, finding the formula that best suits your tastes. An example is this 18K Yellow Gold Black Onyx and White Agate charme to wear in a personal interpretation of the dressage style. From Shakespeare to Orwell, from prehistoric graffiti to futurism, with its harmonious shapes and that elegant and proud gait, the horse is a source of inspiration for the artist. A symbol of unconscious passions, mythologized by fantastic centaurs and unicorns, the brave leader was a mere support for the heroic nature of the soldier in equestrian monuments...

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.
