What a feast of colours! Jewellery of the first half of the 19th century, those years that became known as the Georgian Era, often blooms and glows in the richest hues of the rainbow. The colour tone is usually determined by warmly shining yellow gold, which carries colourful accents in frames and tendrils in floral forms borrowed from nature: precious gems from home and the farthest lands are combined with pearls and corals or coloured enamel. The necklace here, a neck-hugging wide band, is in keeping with this taste and overwhelms with its rich features. A total of 33 coloured stones span the splendour of the entire rainbow. The stones are oval faceted, in varying sizes, and there are coloured tourmalines in various shades of green and pink as well as aquamarines, topazes, beryls, garnets, citrines and an amethyst. The stones are set in gold-plated silver. The individual elements of the band, which lays softly on the neck, are designed very vividly. Wide palmettes frame the gemstones. In the center, seven of them are gathered into one large flower. The collier-de-chien was created in the middle of the 19th century. Probably, originally faceted glass stones were set in the band. Our goldsmith has refurbished and re-gilded it. So it can be worn carefree.
