14k Gold Vintage French Double Snake Rose Quartz Pearl Necklace

Another Gates of Paris exclusive! The mold dates from 1888a time when snake designs were hugely popularand they are no less chic now. This sumptuous serpent is so finely detailed that you can count the tiny scales on his skin! You just cant find this kind of detail in modern or domestic pieces. We hand-cast them in solid 14kt gold with the latest brushed satin finish. Snakes are hollow on back to reduce weight/cost. Between their mouths are small round ivory pearls from which dangles a stunning rose quartz drop the color of pink lemonade. This luminous gem has a translucent glow with no eye-visible flaws and measures 16 x 9 mm. Above the snakes are lengths of 14k chain with stations of smooth ivory cultured pearls embraced by pink and green garnet rondelles.

All 14k gold wire wrap. Necklace measures 18 to 19 inches with gold-filled extender terminated with a pearl. Is a unique collection of handmade jewelry by designer David Maurer, based on classic French and European designs.

We travel the byways of Europe, visiting old jewelry manufacturers and seeking out molds and findings that haven't been used for over a century. Most of our pieces come from.

Made in France and England between 1830 and 1910. We re-cast them by hand in a wide variety of finishes. You'll find animals, cherubs, crosses, shields, fleur de lis, escutcheons, cartouches, grotesques and more... Victorian, Edwardian, Empire, Classical Revival, Steampunk.

On a scouting trip in Paris, we uncovered a. Trove of 19th century molds and findings hidden away in a remote corner of an ancient warehouse.

These repousée pieces are amazingly detailed, reflecting the highest standard of French craftsmanship. You just can't get this quality in the U. Most of these items have not seen the light of day for at least 80 to 100 years! We have selected the best pieces for casting in silver and various golds. Each is then polished and specially finished, and embellished with unique combinations of top-quality semi-precious gems. The result is a hybrid modern/classical jewelry that exudes timeless.

All jewelry is completely original to our collection and cannot be found elsewhere! NOTE: If you don't see the specific combination of finish, stone, or chain with any of our castings. We offer all our designs in 14k or 18k solid gold (yellow, white or rose) as well as sterling silver, PLUS Rose, Yellow, Chocolate and Green Gold Vermeil (18k gold plated over sterling silver).
