Art Deco Silver Collar Necklace
About the Item
A large, dramatic statement necklace rendered in sterling silver and dating to the Art Deco era. A lavish amount of silver was used in creating this piece: 115.19 grams; that’s a quarter of a pound of sterling silver.
Each component of this necklace was hand-fabricated. All of those angled silver wires that radiate outward were individually hand-formed, each capped with a hand-made silver bead. Absolutely nothing on this necklace is machine-made. Even the complex snake chain you see was crafted entirely by human hands. It is a staggeringly impressive work of silversmithing.
This is not a necklace for somebody who just wants to blend in, but neither is it so wildly eccentric you can only wear it once. As unique as it may be, the lines are classic. One can imagine such a necklace being created in ancient Egypt or Rome. I display it against black but it looks beautiful on bare skin, where it sits upon the collar bones. It is 15" in length.
Marked for metal fineness and with a maker's mark I could not identify.

- Tiara & Necklace Diamonds, Diamond Briolettes for Wedding or Gala 8 TCW Art DecoLocated in Southbury, CTThis Art Deco 18K white gold and diamond tiara is an exceptionally rare and gorgeous jewel. Created entirely by hand in the 1930s, this semi-flexible 15" tiara is composed of thirty 9mm long by 3.15 rectangular segments of 18k white gold, each of which is channel-set with four tiny brilliant round diamonds. Each rectangular segment is joined to the other by a bezel-set round brilliant. Beginning three-quarters of the way forward on the tiara are nine upside-down "U" shaped mountings, each of which is set with two round brilliant diamonds on the interior and then three additional diamonds atop the rounded portion of the "U." The diamonds are close-backed, so a perfectly accurate weight cannot be obtained, but using a geological mathematical formula, I estimate the total diamond weight on the frame of the tiara to be approximately 3.8 carats. Not counting the freely-dangling diamond briolettes. There are nine, and they are magnificent, fire-filled, and faceted tears of joy. Each measures approximately 5.45mm x 3.44mm x 2.89mm which, again, by formula, suggests a diamond weight of between .51 -.57 carats. So we will go with the lower number, as we always do here, and this gives us a diamond weight for the briolettes alone of 4.59 carats. Altogether, this simultaneously subtle and spectacular tiara has a total -approximate- diamond carat weight of 8.39 carats. The tiara has a length of approximately 12". This is a tiara that can be worn in several ways. It can "surround" the base of a bun atop the head, or could be similarly positioned lower toward the nape to adorn a chignon, or it could be pinned to the very top of the head where it could secure a wedding veil into position. So this is not a tiara like the Princess of Wales's favorite tiara, The Lover's Knot; but then is a tiara of that scale ever appropriate for one who is not a duchess, a princess of a reigning monarch? This is an absolutely perfect wedding tiara...Category
