Glamorosi - Red Topaz Necklace, Sterling Silver Chainmaille

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 19:08:37 -0800

The Celosia Necklace by Glamorosi is a regal design featuring a faceted red topaz briolette suspended from a handmade sterling silver chainmaille chain.

The focal point of this necklace is a gorgeous red topaz briolette topped with a sterling silver bead cap. It is a faceted pear-shaped stone with a pointed bottom in vivid red with fuchsia undertones; the color reminds me of velvety Celosia Cristata flowers I grow in my garden. In the Victorian Era this flower was a symbol of undying love.

The stone is eye clean with no visible inclusions, it weighs approximately 15.87 carats, and it measures approximately 17.6mm x 10.5mm (as a point of reference, 25mm is around 1 inch). Most red topaz on the market is treated to achieve the fantastic color.

The sterling silver chainmaille necklace is composed of hundreds of sterling silver rings woven one-by-one in the intricate Byzantine pattern. Small rings are used to achieve a 3mm wide chain that is fluid and elegant, but also substantial and weighty due to the amount of silver used in this dense weave. The chain is tumble polished to a bright shine.

The front of the chain comes to a point that showcases the stone, and the back of the necklace is embellished with sterling heart and star charms. The piece is finished with a lobster claw clasp and is adjustable by using the attached handmade chain that is woven in a simple 2-1 pattern.

Length: 16” plus 3” adjustable chain

Drop from chain to bottom of stone: approximately 1.25”

Drop from ring above bead cap to bottom of stone: almost 1”

This necklace is a classic, heirloom quality piece that would be perfect for a wedding with a Renaissance or Gothic theme. Upon request I can add a small sapphire rondelle to the back of the piece to be the “something blue” for brides (no additional charge).

The Woven Collar Necklace in Turquoise by Glamorosi is an original pattern and design handcrafted with beautiful blue stones and accents of sterling silver.

The necklace is hand-woven in an open lace-like design and features two cuts of turquoise: rounds and drops. The drops are accented with sterling silver rounds and bead caps.

This luxe collar is expertly finished with crimp covers and wire guards, and is secured by a box clasp inlaid with turquoise. If you prefer I can make it adjustable with a sterling lobster claw clasp and extender chain embellished with turquoise instead. Please click on the second photo in this listing for an example.

This piece is meant to be worn high on the neck, and while it does not stretch there is some “give” due to the nature of the design. The necklace in the photo is my sample – once you place an order I will make your collar and it will ship in approximately 2 weeks.

Please note that with all gems and stones there will be variations from piece to piece, but the pattern and high quality of the materials will be the same.

This design can be custom ordered in just about any color or stone you can imagine. In turquoise this is an outstanding choice for a Southwestern or Bohemian style wedding, but it's also an amazing bridal piece when done in traditional pearls and crystal.

When made with darker stones this collar has a Victorian or Gothic vibe - there is a gunmetal and crystal version currently available in my shop. The possibilities are endless; free to contact me to discuss a custom order. Prices vary depending on the materials used.

A little background on ravens: I truly believe that luck is the intersection of hard work and opportunity, but I have an ongoing fascination with charms, amulets and talismans. In some cultures if a raven lands on your roof it's a sign of impending fortune. In Glamorosi culture having one land on your wrist is a good deal.

About evil eyes: I truly believe that luck is hard work intersecting with opportunity, but I still enjoy collecting charms, amulets and talismans for fun, and I love evil eyes. Many cultures believe wearing this symbol can protect you from bad luck caused by harmful or jealous glances known as the “Evil Eye”.

There are two types of amethyst - faceted ovals in an amazing shade of semi-opaque violet with sterling floral openwork bead caps, and clear faceted rondelles in pale lilac.
