Vintage necklace with 9K yellow gold chain and 9K yellow gold pendant and green jasperware, 1982
This necklace is made up of two jewels, a chain and a pendant, which at first glance is immediately clear to be the real protagonist.
It was indeed decorated with jasperware, invented around 1775 to resemble ancient cameos and, as you can see, the result is truly incredible!
Getting to the result you see today was not easy, it took many attempts and a lot of money, but in the end it was possible to obtain a particularly valuable material: it is a very hard, white and fine, almost translucent paste, whose appearance resembles very porcelain; the color can be mixed with the paste or, according to a cheaper process introduced in 1777, it can be painted on the surface.
The jasperware of our pendant has a light green base, on which we find the drawing, in white, of a beautiful woman, holding in her hand what appears to be a group of flowers, or fruits, together with a putto who tries to take them; the scene represented is fully neoclassical in taste. On the back we can also find the writing "Wedgwood made in England" engraved.
The jasperware is held by a beautiful frame, worked like a braided rope, and the entire setting is in 9K yellow gold.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The stone weights indicated in carats represent approximate weights, taken with the stones set, which can therefore vary slightly.
Given the age and the fact that they are handcrafted jewels (and not in series), our antique and vintage jewels are often not perfect and may show normal signs of surface wear, small imperfections and / or scratches, possibly present both on the parts in gold than on stones.
But this is exactly what makes each piece special and unique!
NB: All our jewels are unique pieces, no one is alike! If you like it don't miss it
