N1410 “Old Gold”

Old Gold. Some years ago I was fortunate to find some rare and very precious 18K and 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 with their lovely little solid gold antique charms, each one different as described.

This lovely little 17” necklace band is made with genuine Brazilian hand faceted rubies, they have a slightly variable color just as they would back in the day, and they all have a pretty sparkle to them. The 22K gold pendant is exquisitely delicate, originally hand cast in the traditional way many years ago, and there is a bright faceted mystery stone at the top of the pendant, set in a simple gold bezel. Maybe it is another ruby, maybe it is red glass which was often used. Today many of the modern pendants I see are decorated with colored enamel. The 3 beads on each side of the focal charm are also old pure gold, a perfect match for the lovely charm, and the findings and clasp are vermeil.
