This vintage diamond necklace with old mine-cut diamonds is crafted in platinum accented 18k yellow gold, weighs 70.5g and measures 17.5 inches long, 10mm wide and 6mm deep. Elaborately designed and of heavy, ornately grandiose aesthetic, this innovative 1950's vintage diamond necklace is resplendent in 3.75cts of variously-cut diamonds interspersed throughout the scrolls, knots and the eye-catching 'en tremblant' pendant. Designed as a bold and massive version of the popular 'avant-garde' 1900's 'lavalière' necklaces, in vogue throughout the Belle Époque era, this stunning masterpiece is resplendent in a knot and herringbone design and consisting of stylized knotted motifs, supporting matching pendants of uneven length. The name of that necklace which remained in vogue for decades, was derived from that of the French actress Eve Lavalière whose former occupation had been that of tying ribbons in a hat factory. The dual 'en tremblant' drops of the necklace measuring 2.50 and 2.75 inches long respectively are surmounted by a fiery 0.80ct old mine-cut diamond graded K color and VS2 clarity, appreciatively positioned in the central focal point of the necklace. An additional duo of old mine-cut diamonds cumulatively weighing 0.65cts, graded K color and SI2 and I1 clarity flank this fiery precious center-stone, complemented by 1.22cts of refractive full-cut diamonds graded H color and VS clarity range. The latter are positioned at equal intervals, intersecting the absorbing knotted and scrolled components, mounted in individual quatrefoil-prong settings and connected to adjacent components through delicate ringlets.
These weightly articulated yellow gold 'knots' and 'ribbon ends' constituting this sophisticated vintage diamond necklace are cumulatively bead-set with 1.08cts of single-cut diamonds graded H color and VS clarity range. A svelte 'lobster' clasp secures this vintage 1950's lavalière style gold and diamond necklace of timeless elegance and arresting aesthetic.
