TIFFANY & CO. CHOKER NECKLACE

The sculptural allure of this vintage necklace

During the 1980s and 1990s, New York-based Tiffany entrusted the production of its most demanding creations to the finest Parisian ateliers. This choice guaranteed a high level of jewellery finishing sought after by discerning collectors. This pre-owned jewel embodies this Franco-American excellence. The central section showcases 15 deep blue round sapphires totalling an estimated 0.60 carat. These gems alternate with 10 brilliant-cut diamonds of absolute purity offering a firm weight of 0.30 carat. The whole is fashioned in mirror-polished 18-carat yellow gold.

Architecture and jewellery expertise

The structure of this necklace rests on a tubular trombone mesh of remarkable density. This massive setting offers a semi-rigid fall that emphasises the curve of the neck. The curved front features a robust rail setting. This technique frames the line of stones while creating an uninterrupted continuity of light. The ratchet clasp is ingeniously concealed in the extension of a link with a safety hook guaranteeing a flawless hold.

Why this second-hand choker necklace

Buying a creation stamped France on the second-hand market is a highly aesthetic process. The cost of such a solid gold casting and articulated assembly by Parisian jewellers would easily exceed the standards of contemporary production for an equivalent budget. The generous volume of gold and the total weight of 0.90 carats of stones give this vintage piece undeniable acquisition relevance.
