The jewellery craftsmanship of the Happy Diamonds collection
Conceived in 1976 by Chopard, the concept of the moving diamond draws its inspiration from the drops of water cascading from a waterfall in the Black Forest. This innovative approach frees the gem from its setting, allowing it to move in time with the body’s movements. This pre-owned 18-carat white gold necklace follows in this tradition with a delicate water-drop motif. At its centre sits a brilliant-cut diamond with an estimated weight of 0.025 carats. The colourless stone glides freely within the metal structure, catching the light as you move throughout the day.
Architecture and jewellery craftsmanship
The setting offers a balanced presence whilst maintaining a great visual delicacy in the links. The pendant is designed with a hollowed-out central space housing a miniature gold bezel setting. This delicate metal rim protects the diamond and acts as a smooth guide to ensure its perfect mobility. The chain, with its intertwined oval links, is fully polished and rhodium-plated. This treatment ensures a pure white lustre and a continuous mirror-like effect across the entire piece.
Why choose this second-hand necklace
Purchasing this second-hand Geneva-made creation is an aesthetically informed and discerning choice. The opportunity to acquire a piece of jewellery bearing the signature of a prestigious House, with such a high standard of finish, fully justifies this decision. The current cost of precision craftsmanship and precious metal working adds value to this purchase. This piece features meticulous engineering and signature stone-setting at a particularly fair price.
