Description

Long vintage 18k ruby link necklace set with all natural rubies, with a total of 49 rubies.

It is uncommon to find a link necklace like this, old or new, because there is just too much work involved to set a piece as this.

The rubies are hand set in imperfect bezels and each bezel is linked to the next in an ingenious way to prevent it from twisting. Besides serving this purpose, these gold links form an aesthetic reminiscent of ancient Egyptian and Roman jewelry.

The necklace is 46cm (slightly over 18″) and will also work as an interesting tiered bracelet.

The rubies are a uniform true ruby colour throughout. Both pieces feel like a flat sheath between the fingers, crafted so well. The necklace feels indulgent, its captivating colour sparkles at different depths of pink and red.

I put the time period to the ’70s as a conservative timeframe.

So much of jewellery is inspired by historical Roman pieces, like this, seen in multi gem jewellery in flapper style of the Deco era.

Unlike a lot of hastily made jewellery, there is enduring beauty in this modern link necklace. Wear alone or with a pendant.

Like its predecessors, these petite link necklaces have an ethereal quality, even in its reimagining 🙂

This necklace has a matching bracelet.
