Vintage D.L. Auld Omega Collar Necklace

The DL Auld Omega Necklace in 18" combines elements from ancient symbols and modern design, featuring a flexible omega chain from Demas L. Auld's company (est. 1870), popular in the 20th century for its smooth, strong style, often mimicking the iconic, wisdom-symbolizing Bulgari Serpenti designs from the mid-century onwards, creating a bold, regal statement piece popular in vintage styles like the 1980s. DL Auld Company: Founded in Ohio in 1870, this firm produced high-end custom jewelry, including these chunky, often gold-plated, serpent-style necklaces. Omega Chain: Named for the Greek letter (Ω), these necklaces are known for their tightly woven metal plates forming a smooth, flat, almost seamless tube, offering strength and flexibility without traditional links. The DL Auld Omega necklace isn't just a chain; it's a fusion of durable craftsmanship (Omega) and symbolic artistry, echoing ancient designs but popularized in the Art Deco and mid-century eras, becoming a hallmark of vintage luxury and confidence.
