Native American Sterling Silver Genuine Turquoise Navajo Squash Blossom Necklace

Saint Cecelia chatelaine pendant by Froment-Meurice. A gold and silver pendant in the Renaissance Revival style, the main element composed of an ornately carved openwork architectural structure in the form of an altarpiece, the central niche surmounted by a cupola set with pearls, with scroll and scalloped details to the interior and suspending a fleur-de-lis, containing a figure of Saint Cecelia playing a viola da gamba with two dancing putti to either side, flanked by two smaller raised pedestals issuing fleur-de-lis, each set with a putto (one playing a harp, the other playing a triangle), suspending a double swagged gold chain set with pearls, with two further chains suspending on one side a circular lapis lazuli seal in a trumpet form mount and on the other a watch winder, the whole accented with blue enamel and set to the reverse with a hinged band loop, approximately 9.5cm in total length. Tested yellow gold and silver, French, circa 1850. François Désiré Froment-Meurice (1802-1855) was one of the most important French jewellery and silversmiths of the nineteenth century, described by Victor Hugo as the Cellini of his age. He exhibited in a number of International Exhibitions, where Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were among his clients. The Renaissance Revival, as seen here, and the Gothic Revival were his two major decorative styles. This piece is also typical of his penchant for placing a silver figure, usually female, within a yellow gold architectural mount. The central figure and flanking putti are identical to those found on two brooches by Froment-Meurice, one in the Birmingham Museum and one in the Schmuckmuseum Pforzheim. Another brooch by Froment-Meurice, in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum, features a similar central figure, but this time as an angel with wings, in a silver oval blue enamelled frame. These examples also bear a similar gold and blue enamel architectural mount, and differ only in the surrounding and pendulant embellishments. Saint Cecelia is the patroness of music, whose feast day is celebrated each November. A Roman maiden, she was amongst the earliest and most famous of the Roman martyrs, reputedly beheaded in 230 AD under the Emperor Alexander Severus. Throughout history, Saint Cecelia has inspired musicians and poets alike, appearing in John Dryden...

What could be more regal than diamonds, dangling pendants, and double halos, all elegantly arranged in one spectacular statement piece? This beautiful Diamond Bib Necklace from Spectra Fine Jewelry is crafted in 18K white gold set with 939 round and baguette diamonds weighing an estimated 7.49 carats total. The diamonds are equivalent to F-I colors and VS-SI clarity. Crafted in the 21st century, the necklace features 13 graduated pendants comprised of what appears to be dangling pear-shape diamonds surrounded by pear-shape pavé diamond halos. The pendants are suspended from seemingly square step-cut diamonds surrounded by square pavé diamond halos alternating with rectangular step-cut diamonds. At closer range, the dazzling tour-de-force settings come into focus. The seemingly singular pear shape diamonds are comprised of multiple round pavé diamonds arranged in impeccable trompe l’oeil pear-shaped silhouettes. Likewise, the square and rectangular step-cut diamonds are comprised of multiple baguette diamonds, set in parallels and perpendiculars, punctuated by perfectly fitting round diamonds at the four corners. This clever configuration effectively creates illusory emerald cut diamonds. The artistry and technical prowess in setting all these stones in this precise manner is to be admired. An actual square or rectangular emerald-cut diamond is comprised of parallel and perpendicular step cuts with long linear facets that return large flashes of light. Here the baguette diamonds, step-cut with 14 straight, clearly defined facets and perfectly squared corners, are subbed in for emerald-cut diamonds. Four round diamonds are placed at each corner to provide that effervescent sparkle that is normally created from the cut corners of the emerald cut. Such expert-level stone setting references techniques from the Art Deco period in which Spectra Fine Jewelry is also more than proficient. These techniques, where custom geometric-cut gemstones are tightly set against one another without the use of prongs, create a unique sparkle and an effect of a lush, jeweled tapestry...
