Since the days of ancient civilizations, Necklaces have been an integral part of jewelry design. Necklaces date back to the Stone Age (approximately 40,000 years ago) when people decorated themselves with mollusk necklaces. Necklace design evolved into those being made of stones, bones, shells and animal teeth. With the discovery of metals, we saw the advance of necklaces designed with gold, silver, bronze and iron. Throughout history, advancement in fabricating techniques and metallurgy allowed more unusual designs with unique metals and gems. |
| At Bijoux Extraordinaire we continue the tradition of creating unique and innovative designs for the neck, whether it is a drop style pendant, a sliding neckpiece or a heavy necklace. The options and combinations are limited only by the imagination ! In this Gallery we feature some of our favorite necklace and pendant designs. |
 |
 |
Most of the designs shown here are Bijoux
originals, however we have also included a few others that
were created by designers and goldsmiths with whom we
collaborate. As you view the necklaces in the
Gallery, keep in mind that many of the designs can be
custom created with a variety of gemstones and precious metals.
Necklaces are a versatile jewel, allowing our designers a blank canvas from which to create an almost limitless variety of forms, patterns and designs. We like to refer to these jewels as Great Neckings ! ™. |
