About the Item

Birch, a collector, connoisseur and philanthropist moved to the Virgin Islands where opened Circe Gallery in 1969.

Historical Persian jewels delighted her and she made multiple trips to Iran and surrounding areas to acquire ancient beads and jewelry that could either be worn “as is”, or fashioned into wearable artifacts. Her Jewels have been featured in The Hermitage Museum and Schmuckmuseum Pforzheim. This necklace is wonderfully wearable, choker length 14.5 inches. Provenance.. The Patty Cadby Birch estate.
