High Jewellery Yellow Gold River Necklace with 44 Carats Heart-Cut Diamonds
This masterful piece embodies the very essence of high jewellery, where an extraordinary carat weight meets uncompromising quality. This articulated choker is a true river of light, sculpted in 130 grams of solid 18-carat yellow gold. It stands out through a complex architecture of pavé-set triangular links, punctuated by eleven heart-cut diamonds of absolute rarity, including a central stone of 2.00 carats. With a dizzying total of 44.25 carats, the diamonds display extra white colour (F-H) and remarkable clarity (VS-SI), certified, ensuring intense fire from every angle. Far from standardised production, this draped-style necklace evokes ballroom parures, offering a unique sensation of opulence and fluidity, like a precious fabric laid against the skin. It is a centrepiece that defines a silhouette, a heritage investment that combines the weight of gold with the nobility of carefully selected gems.
Preparation and inspection of this high jewellery necklace
Our experts have carried out a meticulous examination of this exceptional piece. Every setting, whether the claws securing the heart-cut diamonds or the grain pavé on the triangles, has been checked to guarantee absolute security of the stones. The articulation of the links and the ratchet clasp with safety have been tested to ensure a perfect drape. Although presented in remarkable preserved condition, a professional brightening can be carried out to restore the mirror lustre of the yellow gold, further enhancing the whiteness of the F-H diamonds.
Responsible purchase: Why buy this pre-owned necklace
