Spectra Fine Jewelry Black Diamond Necklace Earrings Demi Parure Suite

About the Item

It may come as a surprise that many have argued black diamonds are much more rare than colorless diamonds. One in 10,000 natural diamonds is classed as fancy colored, and only a handful are truly black. Natural Black diamonds are somewhat different from most other diamonds in that they are entirely opaque. However, like colorless diamonds, black diamonds sparkle rainbow colors when their light is deflected to other surfaces. In other words, colors shoot from the diamond when direct sunlight hits the stone. Interestingly, black diamonds symbolize justice and inner strength while representing courage to stand out from the crowd. The carat weight of this Spectra Fine Jewelry Black Diamond Demi-Parure Suite is quite dazzling at an estimated 270 carats. The suite, made in the 21st century, circa 2010s, comprises two pieces—a necklace and a pair of button earrings. The 17.75-inch (45.08 cm) necklace is constructed like a classic strand of pearls, featuring a single knotted strand of 61 graduated black diamond faceted beads ranging in size from approximately 7.00 mm to 11.15 mm. The gross weight is 53.2 grams. The closure at the back is comprised of two parts crafted in 18K white gold—a round metal bead and a pop clasp that seamlessly integrates with the design. The necklace has the eye-catching elegance of a strand of Tahitian pearls, which are similarly more extensive, ranging from 8 mm to 11 mm, like these beads. This black diamond strand can be evaluated according to five of the seven value factors in evaluating pearls and earns 5 out of 5 exquisite marks in size, shape, color, surface quality, and matching, except luster and nacre quality, the substance from which pearls are made that determines luster. These black diamond faceted beads are much blacker and with subtly dramatic sparkle instead of luster. And, of course, they are diamonds with unique and extraordinary beauty, exuding drama and luxury. Although they are fully saturated stones, they still have that sparkle special only to diamonds, more so than other black stones like spinel or onyx. The lovely button earrings are crafted in 18K white gold with clip-back closures and measure .88 inches (2.22 cm) in length. The earrings feature a pair of faceted pear shape black diamonds bezel-set with the thinnest of outlines separating the principal stone from its lovely pear-shaped halo. The halo is comprised of round brilliant-cut black diamonds set with prongs. The gross weight of the earrings is 11.7 grams. The pear shape is classic, and its facets pick up the facets of the necklace. As a black diamond pear shape, the look is modern and bold. With points pointing upwards, the haloed pear shapes look like black flames dancing in the light, akin to halos or mandorlas on Buddhist statues representing the purification of the mind. These earrings look so unique your mind cannot help but make bold associations. This necklace and earrings jewelry set is made of black diamonds and 18k white gold. The necklace measures approx 17.75" (45 cm) in length. 61 graduated black diamond beads weighing a total of 270 carats. Size of the beads is approximately 11.15 to 7.00 mm. Overall weight: 53.2 grams. Earrings measure approx .875" (2.22 cm) in length, are clip-on style. 2 drop-shape faceted black diamonds, within circular-cut black diamond surrounds. Gross weight: 11.7 gr. Both circa 2010s.

  • Spectra Fine Jewelry Invisibly-set Diamond Necklace
    By Spectra Fine Jewelry
    Located in New York, NY
    What could be more regal than diamonds, dangling pendants, and double halos, all elegantly arranged in one spectacular statement piece? This beautiful Diamond Bib Necklace from Spectra Fine Jewelry is crafted in 18K white gold set with 939 round and baguette diamonds weighing an estimated 7.49 carats total. The diamonds are equivalent to F-I colors and VS-SI clarity. Crafted in the 21st century, the necklace features 13 graduated pendants comprised of what appears to be dangling pear-shape diamonds surrounded by pear-shape pavé diamond halos. The pendants are suspended from seemingly square step-cut diamonds surrounded by square pavé diamond halos alternating with rectangular step-cut diamonds. At closer range, the dazzling tour-de-force settings come into focus. The seemingly singular pear shape diamonds are comprised of multiple round pavé diamonds arranged in impeccable trompe l’oeil pear-shaped silhouettes. Likewise, the square and rectangular step-cut diamonds are comprised of multiple baguette diamonds, set in parallels and perpendiculars, punctuated by perfectly fitting round diamonds at the four corners. This clever configuration effectively creates illusory emerald cut diamonds. The artistry and technical prowess in setting all these stones in this precise manner is to be admired. An actual square or rectangular emerald-cut diamond is comprised of parallel and perpendicular step cuts with long linear facets that return large flashes of light. Here the baguette diamonds, step-cut with 14 straight, clearly defined facets and perfectly squared corners, are subbed in for emerald-cut diamonds. Four round diamonds are placed at each corner to provide that effervescent sparkle that is normally created from the cut corners of the emerald cut. Such expert-level stone setting references techniques from the Art Deco period in which Spectra Fine Jewelry is also more than proficient. These techniques, where custom geometric-cut gemstones are tightly set against one another without the use of prongs, create a unique sparkle and an effect of a lush, jeweled tapestry...
