Condition Report:
In very good condition, with minor abrasions to the mounting that are not noticeable when worn. The enamel is intact. Mounting tests as 18 karat gold. The citrines are medium orange and very slightly included. Please note the clasp was repaired by Tiffany & Co., with a copy of the work order available upon request. Gross weight approximately 8 dwts.
Catalogue Note:
A variation of the design of this necklace is published in Louis Comfort Tiffany at Tiffany & Co. by John Loring, pp. 55-56. Referred to as “Orientalist”, it is set with a tear drop-shaped opal surrounded by small round sapphires, whereas the example offered here reflects more autumnal hues in the honey-colored pear-shape framed by small round citrines. Both examples feature necklace chains with fancy-shaped links of plique-a-jour enamel and faceted stones. Tiffany’s archival photograph of the opal necklace is dated to about 1909, during the period of Louis Comfort Tiffany’s collaborations with Julia Munson.
