Size (pendant): 1.4" W x 1.9" H (3.6 cm x 4.8 cm); (necklace strand): 16.5" L (41.9 cm); gold quality: 78.6% (equivalent to 18K+); weight: 11.5 grams
Robert Wander was a fine jewelry designer renowned for this work with vibrantly colored gemstones. He was among the first designers to travel to Hong Kong in the mid-1980's to find ways to produce fine jewelry at a very high level of craftsmanship, while making it available to a much broader audience. Along the way he helped found a jewelry production house, DWL, in Hong Kong, which would rise to global renown owing much to Wander’s challenging designs. Wander pioneered the use of single cut, fractured, yet beautifully colored, tourmalines, aquamarines and so many other gems, which had been mostly ignored, into jewelry that had both humor and a sense of ancient royalty.
Provenance: ex-private Bishop Family Trust collection, the Trust of the late Bill Bishop, a noted antiquarian with shops in Scottsdale, Arizona and Allenspark, Colorado, USA, acquired before 2010
