I meant to post this a couple of months ago. It’s another addition to my gallery of Andreas Daub jewellery, and has been sitting in my VintagePointUK Etsy shop ever since. I think you’ll agree it has a Finnish look to it, reminiscent of pieces by Elis Kauppi. The main di5fference is that it’s rhodium plated, something you don’t often find on Scandinavian mid century jewellery.
I bought this sterling silver Cleopatra necklace about six years ago from a fellow seller when I first joined Etsy. I loved its elegant simplicity and the feel of the links in my fingers – very soothing and tactile. Near the clasp at one end are some hallmarks, including the signature “A*D” for German jewellery manufacturer Andreas Daub. I have a bit of a thing about Andreas Daub, as this post shows.
I’ve now put the necklace up for sale in my Etsy shop. Why would I do this, if I love it so much? Well, these days I’m “traditionally built” rather than slim, so my neck is no longer graceful and swan-like. Necklaces like this one don’t lie flat any more – they bend upwards at inappropriate moments, even when you add an extender chain. So it’s time this beauty found a new home, I think.
