The singular allure of the Happy Diamonds heart
Created in 1976 by designer Ronald Kurowski, the Happy Diamonds concept was inspired by the droplets of water in a Black Forest waterfall. Chopard has patented this daring technique, which frees the diamonds from their claws and allows them to move freely between 2 scratch-resistant sapphire crystals. At the centre of this special occasion jewel, 1 brilliant-cut natural diamond of 0.05 carat circulates fluidly. The heart motif, the absolute emblem of the Icons collection, is here fashioned in 18-carat yellow gold. The reference 79/2936/10-20 faithfully identifies this singular piece of fine jewellery.
Architecture and jewellery expertise
The setting offers generous volume and a reassuring density when worn. The pendant is encircled by a high-precision closed setting, skilfully protecting the breech of 12 faceted round-cut peridots. These luminous gems, weighing a total of 0.20 carat, display a distinctive green-yellow hue. The internal architecture incorporates the famous double sapphire crystal system to ensure the mobility of the central stone. A dense gourmette link chain harmoniously accompanies the central pendant.
Why this second-hand necklace
Acquiring this second-hand necklace is an informed aesthetic step for lovers of signed jewellery. The bold combination of peridots and gold on a classic from the Geneva manufacture represents an undeniable aesthetic appeal. The current cost of luxury craftsmanship and the demands of precision setting make this type of assembly particularly desirable. The qualitative addition of an Italian chain guarantees a perfect fall on the bust while offering a strong material presence.
