HOT ! Antique 14ct Gold 1.70ct Old-Cut Diamond & Pearl Drop Necklace

Description:

A delicate Edwardian Diamond and Pearl drop necklace, refined and romantic in every detail. The station chain is punctuated with tiny Seed Pearls and bezel-set old-cut Diamonds, guiding the eye to an articulated open teardrop pendant where an old pear-cut Diamond shimmers within a lace-like frame. Milgrain accents and airy piercing lend an exquisite lightness, finished with a beautifully engraved barrel clasp and safety catch for peace of mind.

Crafted in 14ct Gold for the pendant and bezels with 18ct Gold chain sections, this jewel showcases approx. 1.70ct of antique Diamonds in total, including an approximately 0.50ct old pear-cut in the drop and around 1.00ct of antique cushion/old mine cuts. The Seed Pearls add a soft lustre that flatters the Diamonds’ old-world sparkle, and a Dutch leaf stamp to the drop is a charming nod to its early 20th-century origins.
