N1293 “LAPIS LAZULI and GOLD”

$380.00

Old Gold. Some years ago I was fortunate to find some rare and very precious 18K to 22K antique gold jewelry findings from India. I have literally hoarded them because of their rarity and because my source is no longer available. There are only a few and now its time to share. I offer these necklaces, each one different as described.

This necklace has a focal bead by the modern master John Winter and the body of the necklace is faceted lapis lazuli beads with high karat patterned gold foil over hard wax, an ancient technique that preserves the beads, often for centuries. I’ve combined high karat gold melon beads, sterling silver and gold filled findings to complete this elegant 17 inch necklace. The sterling silver logo can be removed, your choice.
