Alhambra Palace Necklace

Description

A pendant necklace, with a single oval green center suspended below a delicate chain, set in four prongs. Surrounding the center is a distinctive openwork patterned frame, employing Moorish scrolling and geometric motifs, with pavé stones over the patterns to create a translucent yet opulent visual effect. Above the pendant is a bud-shaped clasp connecting the chain to the center, the overall silhouette like a miniature lattice window of the Alhambra. The green center is rich and profound, the openwork frame intricate and elaborate — a collector’s-grade necklace fusing Islamic art with Spanish romance.
