Bell & Bird Necklace No. 3955

Bell & Bird No. 3955 Spinel Necklace

A deep red natural spinel of just over 3 carats, salvaged from an Art Deco brooch, finds new life in this pendant. The pear-shaped gem, with its subtle heart silhouette, is set in our 18k old gold pie-crust setting. Suspended from a 16-inch double-strand micro-belcher link chain dating to the early 1800s. It is a piece that carries both history and intimacy.  

The pendant measures .60 inches in length and .40 inches wide. 

Our maker's mark, "Bell & Bird," has been hand-engraved on the bezel along with a serial number. 

Bell and Bird Pie Crust settings: In the early 20th century, when platinum jewelry was still in its infancy, the delicate creations of the Belle Époque introduced millegrain, a setting technique marked by rows of tiny beaded edges that surrounded diamonds with a soft texture. For this collection, we take that refinement back in time, reimagining the millegrain effect within 18th-century-inspired settings. The result is a dialogue between eras: the precision of the Belle Époque meets the grace and warmth of Georgian design.

This piece is handcrafted in our signature blend of 18K rose gold, affectionately called “Old Gold.” This distinctive shade has a richer, slightly deeper tone than modern rose gold, giving it a timeless quality that pairs beautifully with antique pieces. While our signature styles are repeated, our hand-fabricated process, paired with carefully curated stones, results in a truly one-of-a-kind piece. A process that no casting or mass production can replicate. This individuality is what gives each piece its soul.
