Paulding FarnhamPlatinum, gold, enamel, diamond, ruby, emerald, cat's eye, chrysoberyl, sapphire, and pearlLong gold, gemset, and enamel chain with arabesques and scrolling motifs evocative of Renaissance revival jewelry. The pastel color palate of greens, orange, and pinks is unexpected of this genre of jewelry, as is its design as a long chain rather than a connected necklace. The form is likely inspired from the chains worn by women in Renaissance portraiture which was sewn onto the dress to adorn the bodice. Farnham's revival-themed jewels were shown, to great acclaim, at the 1901 Buffalo Exposition.Jewelry / Adornment0.0000000000 Centimeter0.7000000000 Centimeterhttp://collections.mfa.org/objects/527177/rdf
