Rare Vintage SPHINX Riviere Necklace Georgian Style Bicolour Golden Topaz Glass Open Back Stones Bridgerton Bridal Jewellery Estate Jewelry Stunning Gift
Circa 1950’s
Perfect For a Collector or to Wear and Enjoy!
Would Make a Stunning Gift for a Special Lady!
A magnificent vintage bi-colour glass Georgian style riviere necklace, studded with aurora borealis crystals, created by the renowned British company, Sphinx. The bicolour glass, table cut stones, are simply beautiful, in a golden topaz colour, with a gorgeous rosy hue when the light shines through them. They are open back set for maximum sparkle. The addition of the aurora borealis crystals makes this necklace much more uncommon than the plain Sphinx riviere necklaces. The large stones are set into brushed gold tone metal. Whilst the metal shows some wear commensurate with age, mainly at the joints, this is barely noticeable unless scrutinising and doesn’t detract in any way from the immense charm of this fabulous piece.
The necklace fastens with a shepherd’s hook clasp and has an extender for extra versatility.
Sphinx is a highly sought after and collectable vintage British costume jewellery brand. The company was established in 1948 by S. Root and was based in West London. They were famous for their exquisitely designed high-end pieces with fabulous rhinestones, which looked just like the real thing. They made jewellery for Kenneth Jay Lane, as well as being stocked in prestigious department stores such as Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdales, Saks Fifth Ave, etc. Therefore, many of their pieces were not signed with the Sphinx name. This piece is unsigned, but is indisputably by Sphinx.
Necklace measures: 18” or 46cm including the extender
The extender measures: 2.25” or 6cm
