A singular 15ct collar of historical significance, this chain perfectly exemplifies the 19th century fascination in and revival of the Renaissance. With 10 massive station links that mimic the the shape of astronomical apparatuses, in their elliptical stretching to connect one to the next, one can clearly see the impact of Vermeer's The Astronomer, or original Armilary Sphere renderings sketched into the design. It's a truly special, museum worthy object.
