About the Item

Vintage sautoir, earlier to mid twentieth century composed of frosted rock crystal, moonstone, fancy cut onyx and diamonds. This long necklace suspends an approximately 3.5 inch pendant from two 19 inch lines of carved frosted rock crystals each of which are interspersed toward the pendant with 18 polished fancy cut onyx rondels all strung on 18K gold chain. The clasp of the piece is circa 1920 and probably a later addition. It is platinum with 10 bead set diamonds weighing approximately 0.34 cts. At the other end of the piece is a pendant, the flexible top of which is a carved frosted rock crystal circle that connects with 18, weighing approximately 0.015 ct., rose cut diamonds, bead set with black enamel on 18K gold. The other side of this same circle has a 9 rose diamond line with black enamel on 18K gold which connects with a combination of old European cut diamonds, 6 in number, weighing approximately 0.14 cts., all of which connects to a stylized tear drop of frosted rock crystal that has 5 natural moonstones. In addition, there are 5 European cut diamonds tube set in platinum. This vintage sautoir in good condition, weighs 74.3 grams, and has a total length of 22.5 inches. The diamond antique clasp works well. This is an unusual necklace both with both a modernist as well as a early to mid twentieth century appearance. See the provided photograph of a similar piece from the early 1930's Victor Arwas ART DECO, Harry N. Abrams, Inc., 1980, p. 125, and while our necklace has an appearance of pieces done as early as the 1930's it bears no hallmarks or country of origin marks. All of the metals have been acid tested to confirm both the gold content 18K as well as the use of platinum. What is especially appealing about this necklace is its playful presentation of white on white forms somewhat interspersed with black accents. All items sold are accompanied by a detailed Statement of Value, as well as any related gemological reports. Jewelry sold is guaranteed to be authentic and as represented. All diamonds are from the earth. We never use lab grown, synthetic diamonds. Each piece of jewelry arrives in a fine gift-wrapped presentation box. We have made every attempt to photograph our jewelry with the proper lighting conditions to display our pieces as they are in real life. However no amount of effort on our end can give the reader realistic colors if the receiving system is imprecise. For realism in color, "It takes two to tango". We have also photographed our pieces on different colors and different body types to provide our viewers with abundant information that we hope will permit them to make their best decision. If questions arise that we have not addressed here, please contact us and we shall respond. Unless stated otherwise, or stated exactly; all weights and grades are approximated by our Gemologist using both GIA Instruments as well as instruments used as a standard and accepted practice within our trade. All purities involving metals - gold, silver, platinum, palladium are approximated within 1%. This allows for the legal tolerance in the jewelry industry. For example, 14K usually indicates a purity of 58.3% gold. However, manufacturing jewelers can legally label a piece as 14K as long as it is above 13K, or 54.2%. Over the decades our stewardship as a small but exemplary purveyor of the jeweler's art, has required that we we offer a fine and authentic selection, in excellent condition, of collectible jewels from all highly sought time periods at competitive prices. In the process we have had the extraordinary good fortune of meeting remarkable people - some collectors, some extremely interesting individuals who have taken the time and effort to examine their lives and select things that tend to make them smile, admire or just wonder at the exciting, endlessly creative and nuanced panoply of jeweled artifacts.

Antique Serpent Heart Necklace with fancy cut Garnet Diamond Eyes, c. 1870
Located in Aspen, CO
Antique Necklace hand made in 18K yellow gold with a serpent and heart motif, the heart and serpent have fancy cut red garnets and the serpent's eyes and nose are rose cut diamonds. This necklace is in fine condition, 16.25 inches long with the hanging section of the serpent and heart is 1.5 inches. The weight is 30.6 grams. Please note: Our model in the photographs has a medium to large necklace size and hand size. This antique necklace bears no marks. We have performed an acid test to confirm its gold purity as being 18K (.750). When in the late 1830's Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (in Germany) proposed to his cousin Queen Victoria with a ring in the form of a snake, he soon became Prince Consort and Victorians soon came to consider serpent motif jewels to be symbols of eternal love. And, when Albert died in 1860, Victoria, as if to demonstrate her eternal commitment, entered a period of mourning and formal remembrance that lasted for the rest of her life, thereby publicly showing her love decades after Albert's death. Our 18K yellow gold serpent necklace...
