Necklace Holders Have Their Place In History
The Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC is home to such a lot that's rare and fantastic in the world.The Museum of Natural History has one of the more spectacular collections of gems.
There you can see fantastic crystals and minerals in their natural form, as well as some of the most superb pieces of jewellery ever created. There are crowns worn by royalty, giant diamond earrings worn by the condemned French queen Marie-Antoinette.
They're all stunning and grand, but nothing is more mysterious than the rare earth-green of the emerald. The Smithsonian is home to the most lovely emeralds ever known, and we're incredibly fortunate to have them in this country.
One doesn't routinely associate beautiful jewelry with the time of the Spanish Inquisition. But in the Smithsonian Institution's collection of gems, there is a wonderful necklace holder stand and a necklace badge holder of diamonds and emeralds.
It's a spectacular double row of diamonds and emeralds ending in a chandelier of emeralds. There's sadly little info about the provenance of these necklace holders. The large diamonds and Columbian emeralds were most likely cut in India in the 17th century.
This would make them one of the earliest examples of cut gemstones in the Smithsonian's Collection. There are truly only legends surrounding this wall necklace holder display stand were used in this era. They indicate that it was worn at times by Spanish and French royalty.
In the early 20th century, it was purchased by the Maharajah of Indore, whose boy sold the necklace in 1947 to Harry Winston. Winston subsequently sold the necklace to Mrs. Pittsburgh's Cora Hubbard Williams. She gave it to the Smithsonian in 1972.
Emeralds are a type of crystal known as beryls. Beryls are normally clear crystals, but when incorporating chromium or vanadium, they attain various gradations of green. The purest green is the most rare emeralds and many people actually prefer an emerald that has a blue-green tint.
Before the 16th century, the sole known emerald deposits were in Cleopatra's Egyptian mines. But after emeralds were found in Columbia, those became the gold standard in emeralds.
Columbian emeralds have been discovered by archaeologists among artifacts of such clans as the Inca, Maya, Aztec, Toltec and the lesser-known Chibcha Indians. Emeralds are among the most rare of gemstones and can be costlier per carat than even the best diamonds!
They are a hard mineral, with a Moh's hardness scale of seven or eight ( compared with a diamond's ten ). While most emeralds are found in Africa and Russia, there have been discoveries of emerald deposits in North Carolina!
