22kt and 18kt Gold and Rutilated Quartz Turtle Necklace, Maija Neimanis, the links designed as turtles, set with rutilated quartz cabochons, some wrapped in wire, with granulation, 107. 4 dwt, lg. 20 1/2 in., unmarked. Note: Before becoming a goldsmith, Maija Neimanis worked as a costume designer for television and film. After taking a three-week course at the Jewelry Arts Institute she went on to an intense study in granulation, enamel, lapidary, and chain weaving. As a costume designer, she specialized in historical fashions, so she was naturally drawn to the historical techniques of the Greeks and Etruscans. These techniques show prominently in her work. Estimate $4,000-6,000 Light surface wear, some small abrasions to stones.
