Fed up with Renaissance ?
So what is that in your opinion
My opinion? Those are four of the ugliest guys I've seen in a long time!!
Why anyone would want to preserve their images is beyond me!Marc

Saved? I thought it was a date - r a p e ........
Hopefully you are there
So you're right about Europe .
Another answer could be : Io (I think I have mixed up th 2 stories
)to whom Jupiter appearing previously as a cloud when she was still a human,
once he had changed her into a heifer (what a story !!!) he appeared himself as a bull
But when was the moment that the pendant captured
I guess we will never know
Well, seems that none has seen this pendant in Washington ,
pls ask the museum about the real story

Here is what Caitlin tells us about the centuries that came after Renaissance
17th Century
Over time, European royalty wore pearls in every possible way, as jewelry, as crowns, and sewn on clothes. The largest pearls as brooches and as many long matched strands as possible dangled from bosoms and headpieces, cloaks, hats, and shoes. Artwork records lavish use of pearls by the gentry and centuries of paintings depicting nobles wearing ropes of pearls.
Apart from being the 4 ugliest men you 've ever seen,
how old are these popes (you were right Nerida), and which material were used ?

You're both right,
There were " plenty of" Popes, and I show you only 4
Made of : wax, pearls seeds, fine stones and glass
Said to have been given by french king Louis the XV in 1755 to the french coins cabinet
XVII :
Was the time of cutting stones, a lot coming from "New world", less metal and more stones used for jewelry making.
A lot of pearls in jewelry as well.
Mixing several techniques on same jewels as we saw.
XVIII
A lot of diamonds arriving from India and "New world".
Discovery of strass used in replacement of diamonds.
Jewels worn by the rising wealthy social class, not only by the aristocracy.
The bow becomes in fashion (Roccoco, Louis XV style).
Pearls used as long ropes, bracelet, pendant earrings,
Does anyone feel like adding something ? just do it
Few jewels remaining (in Museums), due to unset and reset in XIX century
So DON'T MISS TO CLICK ON LINKS BELOW TO SEE QUEEN MARIE ANTOINETTE 's NECKLACE

I can't say that they are, but the pearls seem a little silver gray in color, would love to see this piece in person for sure!

Yes 33 pearls, count by yourself !!
I took this photo out of the Christie's sale catalogue I got.
See another beautiful picture in mentioned thread :
https://www.pearl-guide.com/forum/natural-pearls/1852-marie-antoinettes-pearls-up-auction-2.html
the pearls are truly fantastic, in the thread mentioned by Caitlin, there is a discussion about where pearls are from.
Truly some have same orient than Sea of Cortez pearls, the not perfectly matched colors give a great interest to the piece in my opinnion.
The way the button pearls are set around the red ruby line, while the drop shaped pearls are hangeg from a zigzag diamonds line, I really love it

Good bye XVIII century, there is time for a change, politic and industrial revolution,
Romantic period ...
I have collected few photos to show but here is one interesting piece to watch at.
So today's questions are :
-beside pearls which material were used for this necklace ?
-how old and where does this piece belong to?

This is my first time, but I love this thread. I'm going to say 18k gold, silver, onyx and pearls of course, late Victorian (1880ish) and France. This reminds me of a wine tasting!

Let me know your opinion : would you wear it today ?
In pearls shown in this thread page 2, you said you would ! and it was 2500 years old !
This brings the question of modernity : I think modernity has nothing to do with period it is referring to, but just the way 2 periods meet at a specific moment.
I was teached that when a certain etruscan statue was discovered at beginning of XIX century, she was called "the parisian" because she was dressed exactly like parisians were at that very moment.
Another story (I like story telling)
Coco Chanel and Fulco di Verdura, a famous Sicilian designer went for a great tour to Europe museums to find inspiration from, in order to create / re-create designs for Chanel jewelry collections. Fulco di Verdura was found of big Byzantin patterns.
what is your opinion about modernity concept in jewelry?
thanks for sharing this adventure of pearls story with me

My that is a beautiful piece! Somehow it looks a little Italian to me--maybe it is the shape of the stations. Not sure the dark material is onyx, but maybe enamel? The whole thing looks weighty! Would need a tiny neck and some major decolette to do it justice! I'll let someone else model---Elisa, where are you?????

Her is my wild out here guess... ...
looks to be either enamel, jet or onyx, me thinks enamel though and gold, it looks possibly dated victorian maybe they had a knack for replicating their fanciful Version of stuff.
Ni I woudl nto wear it ti looks too manly and not girly (sillly to say but that is me... Silly)
looking forward to the answer..
