American designer Joel Arthur Rosenthal has created only a few snake necklaces. This one, which will be on display in the special exhibition Beautiful Creatures, opening in the Melissa and Keith Meister Gallery, a new temporary exhibition space in the Allison and Roberto Mignone Halls of Gems and Minerals, was made in 1990. It features JAR’s signature blend of pavé-set precious and semiprecious stones (sapphires, amethysts, and diamonds) in a silver and gold setting. French actress Jacqueline Delubac nicknamed the necklace “Dudule” after she acquired it from JAR. The moniker, a proper French name, could have been a play on Delubac’s last name.
