EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a remarkable piece of ancient craftsmanship - a necklace dating back to the 6th or 7th century. Created by Byzantine artisans, this exquisite necklace is made from gold and adorned with emeralds, radiating an aura of opulence and elegance. Measuring at a length of 36.8 cm, this stunning accessory consists of thirteen cell-work links. Each link forms a triangle shape composed of ten circular cells, each meticulously set with a mesmerizing emerald gemstone. The intricate design continues as piriform elements hang below the triangles, joined together by delicate wires threaded through emerald beads. The vibrant green hue of the emeralds adds an enchanting touch to this medieval masterpiece. Every detail in this necklace speaks volumes about the skill and artistry prevalent during that era. Now part of a private collection, this extraordinary piece evokes curiosity about its storied past and the individuals who once wore it proudly around their necks. Its timeless beauty transcends centuries, reminding us of our fascination with precious stones and our enduring love for fine jewelry. Captured beautifully in this photo by eChristies Images (out of copyright), we are fortunate to admire every facet and curve that make up this exceptional work of art preserved by Bridgeman Images.
