Georgian Gold Chain Etruscan revival The hook on the back

The hook on the back of the pendant fits perfectly into a slot on the chain

its dark grey metallic sheen contrasting elegantly with the sparkling diamonds and juicy rubies

creating a continuous pattern around the wrist

making for a continuous chain

and when the lifetime is as long as this pendant's

Georgian Gold Chain Etruscan revival The hook on the backThis exquisite Georgian chain has an impressed pattern of interlocking circles and a bulbous clasp, both of which give it a surprisingly modern feel. Georgian chains are light for their size, as is the case here, with goldsmiths literally stretching their materials since they were hard to obtain due to wars impacting trade. The links were made by hand rolling the gold over a die with the pattern and then shaping and individually soldering each link.
