Gold (page 1) -- The Kalo Shop worked predominantly in sterling silver and copper. However, it did produce a small amount of gold jewelry, especially during its early years. Many of these pieces, especially necklaces, show extremely fine hand detail work and are best seen under magnification.

Necklace, gold, with green stones (peridots?) and pearls on chain. Centerpiece is shield-form gold frame with two applied gold leaves on each side at top with an open gold flower bud between them and floral vines descending to the bottom, all centering a light green faceted bezel-set stone, possibly a peridot. Above this on each side is a ladder-like pair of gold chains with a free-standing bezel-set pearl and then another free-standing smaller light green faceted bezel-set stone above. At the very bottom of the piece is a central drop made of a bezel-set pearl. The pearls all have small applied leaves around the top of each bezel. A paperclip style chain rises from the top green stone on each side. Very pretty and delicate work in 14K. |
