Rebecca Rau Beyond Bactria Necklace

This striking pendant necklace from Rebecca Rau’s THEN & NOW collection centers on an authentic bronze seal from ancient Bactria, dating from approximately 1200–800 BC. Cast in a distinctive wheel form, the seal bears a finely preserved geometric motif once used within a regional network of trade and administration. It is framed in oxidized silver and adorned with grey spinels and a cascade of Tahitian and South Sea pearls that move gracefully when worn.

Designer Rebecca Rau, a fourth-generation antiquaire, is distinguished for her ability to source ancient artifacts and reimagine them as contemporary adornments. Her work unites archaeological significance with artistic sophistication, preserving the integrity of historical objects while transforming them into expressions of enduring beauty and elegance.
