This gorgeous necklace is strung with small Mediterranean Coral or ‘corallum rubrum’ beads of a fantastic orange-red colour.

During the 18th century, museums weren’t yet a thing in England, so people had to travel abroad to see art and sculpture and absorb European culture. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNecklace length : 39cm or 15” (short)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeight : 9.08g\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ravensbury Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46954472767796,"sku":"","price":360.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6784\/5428\/products\/il_fullxfull.5090201728_4kh1.jpg?v=1698957911"},{"product_id":"french-gold-amphora-fringe-necklace","title":"French Gold Amphora Fringe Necklace","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA superb gold archaeological revival fringe necklace, made in France and dating from the 1940’s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe necklace is crafted with 30 grams of rich, rosy 18K gold and decorated with a continuous row of amphora-shaped drops. The design is inspired by the archaeological revival movement, pioneered by firms like Castellani and further popularised by jewellers like Carlo Guilano and Eugene Fontenay. One of the most widely used motifs in ancient archeological jewellery was the amphora; a container\/vessel that was used to store and or transport oil, water, perfume and grain. The pointed bottom on certain amphoras was a way of storing it upright, as the bottom would go into the sand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe archaeological jewellery revival style was influenced by the fascination with classical arts that swept Europe in the mid-19th century; stemming from important archaeological discoveries in Italy and Greece.

However unlike Italian examples, which often recreated the ancient designs as accurately as possible, French revival jewellery did not seem to be derived directly the ancient prototypes. The free interpretation of ancient sources is characteristic of the French taste in 'archaeological-style' jewellery. An explanation may perhaps be found in the existence of pattern-books by important designers which seem to have provided the basis for the design of much French jewellery, as opposed to the originals themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe necklace has a length of 40.5cm and amphora link measures 1.2cm x 0.5cm.
