Necklace by James W R Linton null by Linton, James W R in Perth, Western Australia, Australia This opal necklace is a rare extant example of the work of jeweller and silversmith James W.R. Linton (1869-1947). It features an openwork pendant and three white and two black opals suspended on silver and gold variegated chains.
This necklace was made in about 1918 and given to Iris Boultbee, student and friend of Linton, by her husband when he returned from World War 1. The necklace is highly significant on account of Linton’s impeccable reputation as a teacher and Arts and Crafts practitioner, for the fact that the original owner was one of his students and that she came from an influential West Australian farming family, the Gallops, who were among the original settlers along the Swan river.

Arthur and Georgie Gaskin worked as illustrators before turning to jewellery in 1899. They lived and worked in Birmingham – the centre of the jewellery trade in England – where as members of the Arts and Crafts Movement they pioneered alternative design and hand-made work very unlike the commercially produced jewellery being made around them. Although they always exhibited their jewellery under their joint names, contemporary accounts note that Georgie designed the jewellery, Arthur did the enamels, and the pieces were executed by both with the help of their assistants.
