EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Imperial Mughal Spinel Necklace, a true masterpiece of the Mughal School. The necklace is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, combining stunning spinel gemstones and lustrous gold. Measuring 52 cm in length, it resides in a private collection. What makes this necklace truly extraordinary are the eleven polished spinels adorning it, weighing an impressive total of 1,131.59 carats. Each spinel holds its own unique charm and beauty. Three of them bear intricate engravings that add historical significance to this already remarkable piece. Two spinels proudly display the name of Emperor Jahangir, while another bears the names of three influential emperors: Jahangir, Shah Jahan, and Alamgir (also known as Aurangzeb). These engravings serve as a testament to their reigns during different periods in history. The craftsmanship displayed in this necklace is believed to date back to the 19th century when it was likely mounted on its yellow gold link backchain with a hook clasp. Captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, this photograph allows us to marvel at the sheer magnificence and historical significance of this Imperial Mughal Spinel Necklace. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage left behind by these great emperors who once ruled over vast territories with grandeur and splendor.
