AN INTERESTING REGENCY CITRINE AND TRICOLORED GOLD PARURE A pendant necklace, designed as a series of graduated oval-cut citrines, each within a textured green, rose and yellow gold foliate frame, joined by green gold flower links, the front suspending an oval and pear-shaped citrine and green, rose and yellow gold foliate pendant-- 16½ ins. long ; a tiara, a ribbon choker plaque, two ribbon bracelet plaques; and a pair of ear pendants en suite, in an embossed leather fitted case, accompanied by original bill of sale, French, circa 1825 By the second decade of the nineteenth century, the focal point of jewelry design had evolved away from gemstones back to gold work. By 1814, the Bourbon monarchy was restored in France but the effects of war had left their marks on the economy. As semi-precious stones became fashionable, amethysts, citrines and aquamarines were set in gold mountings, either stamped out or made in the new cannetille technique. Leaves, flowers, and scrolls were stamped out of variously colored gold leaf and applied onto the goldwork as exemplified by the illustrated parure. This suite is in its original fitted box and is accompanied by the receipt from the Parisian retailer, Charles Cahier, dated June 5, 1827. It is rare to find a parure of this quality still intact in its original box. (6)
