A Gorgeous Georgian Chain with Hand in Tricoloured Gold, with Turquoise and Green stone Ca1790
A really wearable Georgian chain in super condition with finely detailed links with stripes and circles . The links are in very good condition with only very little wear to them. The chain is of a lovely butter colour and light to the feel, just as it should be. The hand feels heavier, just as that should be :) .The hand is holding a snake ring and is wearing a ring on its forefinger. The little ring is slightly rectangular in shape and has a green translucent and opaque stone , the colour of Emerald. Since this is small and already a bit worn with a little chip (that can only be seen with a loupe) it is difficult to test. So, at this stage, I shall say it’s a ‘green stone’. On the cuff is a beautiful oval cabochon cut Turquoise. The hand is made in tricolour gold; lemon, butter and copper. I love the fine detailing on it. The fingernails on the reverse of the hand are in copper colour. It could stand for (the hand of ) friendship is everlasting (snake)….It’s truly a beautiful piece and in wonderful condition too. I find it remarkable that we are still able to wear this beautiful piece of jewellery over 200 years old with so much history , with today’s contemporary fashions and look wonderful! Georgian jeweller, especially, in good condition is rare. Anything with a hand, especially a pretty hand is coveted for.
