Bold and delicate at the same time, this intriguing necklace would have created as great a sensation in the ancient world as it surely will in the modern one. Its blending of radiant gold with fiery carnelian is timelessly beautiful. Though the necklace is a modern composite, we can imagine such a jewel adorning one of the great temptresses of history: Cleopatra, Salome or Delilah. The woman who chooses it today must be very sure of her, for it radiates a magic that is eternally feminine. - (SJ.1198)
