Gold necklace with emeralds
The complete jewel consists of an alternation of nine emerald pearls (beryl) and eight gold links in the shape of a double knot (‘Heracles knot’).
The emerald beads in the shape of hexagonal prisms, of irregular length, are drilled right through and strung on small gold threads folded in a loop at the ends.
The double knot links are made up of small golden tubes folded back to obtain the desired shape and gathered at their ends in sorts of flat-end sleeves where the wires supporting the emeralds hang. . The clasp is formed of two gold tubes folded in a loop with an end sleeve to which one is welded one hook and the other a ring.
