    "description": "The lavish use of colored gemstones in this piece is thought to reflect the influence of Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933), the artist and glass designer, who served as director of the \"Artistic Jewelry Department\" of Tiffany & Co. following the death of his father, C. L. Tiffany, in 1902. This necklace was purchased as a wedding present for Ellen du Pont Wheelwright whose house, \"Goodstay,\" is in Wilmington, Delaware.In the center of the pendant is a large blue zircon surrounded by canary diamonds alternating with smaller diamonds of various hues, green demantoid garnets, and amethysts. The triple chain is of platinum links and variously colored pearls.",
