Vintage Judith Ripka 14k gold 32\" chain necklace with 9 semi-precious stones For Sale

Vintage Judith Ripka 14k gold 32\" chain necklace with 9 semi-precious stones. I worked for Judith Ripka in 1981 when her company was called Gold Fever, and had this necklace made for myself. Judith specialized in necklaces of 14k and gold filled beads as well as necklaces with colored semi-precious stones (amethyst, peridot, citrine, garnet, and blue topaz). This was the era of Elsa Peretti’s “diamonds by the yard”, and long necklaces of beads or stones were very fashionable . Each faceted stone is hand bezeled in gold wire, and the necklace can be worn long, doubled or twisted around your wrist as a bracelet. It has been lovingly cared for, and is a true piece of fashion history.
