The Art Deco Era is famous for being the “Gatsby” or “Roaring Twenties” Era. A lot of gorgeous and timeless designs in jewelry came out of this period. During the Art Deco Period jewelers often made jewelry upon custom order, this would often take weeks to months to completely craft by hand. Chinese Export jewelry became popular during the late Victorian Period and lasted until the 1960’s. In a lot of ways Chinese Export jewelry fashioned what we know of jewelry today. During these periods, Chinese Craftsmen, including Jewelers and Stone cutters, were considered by far the best in the world. The rich and wealthy would have a piece custom ordered through their local jeweler, whom was usually gifted at drawing a design to send off to contacts in China to craft and send back. As you can imagine, this was not cheap. That being said, these pieces are very rare and few have survived until today. Chinese Stone cutters were considered some of the finest artisans in the world during the Vintage Era. They would carve western themes as well as the more rare traditional eastern themes into their many pieces. Filigree metal working was perfected by the Phoenician and Etruscan civilizations. This technique involves hand-stamping a design into metal and then hand-bending-and-twirling the metal until the final design is formed. Filigree is considered one of the most difficult metal working processes, despite having been around for thousands of years, due to its intricacy. Chinese Turquoise is considered by the Chinese as the second most valuable stone, only behind Jade. Chinese Turquoise is highly prized due to its rarity and gorgeous bright blue hues. With the rarer types, a spider web matrix can be seen throughout the stones. The necklace includes 68 natural untreated Chinese Turquoise beads throughout. The beads measure 5 mm in size. The beads include a beautiful teal blue colored hue mixed with vibrant black spider web matrix within the stones. The necklace features beautiful handmade craftsmanship and Art Deco Era designs including a solid white gold filigree fish hook clasp. The beads are hand strung on blue silk string that is double knotted between each bead to prevent damage due to friction. The necklace measures 17 in length. It also includes a secure 14k White Gold filigree fish hook clasp. Antique and Vintage jewelry is disappearing at alarming rates.
