The Esplanade Necklace

Silver with gold backing, jade, moonstone, and amethyst with platinum and diamond details.

This fully articulated necklace is made with the same silver on gold technique that was typical of jewelry from the Victorian period. 

The silver was backed with gold for strength. This technique was replaced by the advent of platinum as a white metal, though there is no comparison for the subtle beauty of oxidized silver as a compliment to exotic gemstones.
