Up for sale is a
magnificent all Edwardian diamond silver and gold necklace.
This piece is over a
century old yet it is in a very good condition and was well kept over
the years.
This piece is made of all
it's original parts, but after a long investigation we believe that at
one point it must have been used as a Tiara and was converted to a
necklace. From our estimated this must have been done at the turn of the
century. Regardless, this piece is a great looking necklace, it is still
over 100 years old and it is made superbly.
This necklace is set with over
40 carats of natural diamonds, as you can see, these diamonds are all
antique cut diamonds and all are fine quality as well.
The diamonds average from
top SI to to VS clarity and at least G-H color.
The cuts of the diamonds
are called old miner, and antique cushion cuts which preceded the old
European and brilliant cuts.
Also, in the old days when
fine jewelry was made, they used to combine silver with gold hence the
antique black look which many try to copy but nothing compares to the
real thing!!!
This beautiful necklace is
approximately 17.5 inches long and it's a real work of art!
