A diamond and cultured pearl chocker necklace
About the Item
A diamond and cultured pearl chocker necklace, the Edwardian diamond centerpiece with openwork scroll design decorations, set with old European cut diamonds estimated to weigh in total approximately 4 ¾ carats, all millegrain-set in platinum, circa 1910, strung with nine rows of cultured pearls measuring 3.5-4mm n diameter, to a bayonet-style clasp, accompanied by detachable brooch fitting, the centerpiece measuring 4.4 x 2.6cm, the necklace measuring 34 x 3.3cm, gross weight 70 grams.
This antique centerpiece is in fine condition for its age. Unmarked, tested as platinum, later strung as a necklace with unmarked fittings tested as 18ct gold.
This is an exquisite example of a turn of the century choker, which were greatly promoted by Princess Alexandra of Denmark in the late Victorian period. She loved chokers and liked to wear several rows of pearls at a time for the practical reason of hiding a scar on her neck. This style soon became fashion, and this treasured piece is part of the collection of Bentley and Skinner, the London jewellers by appointment to both Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales.
Should you choose to make this purchase we would be delighted to send it to you in a Bentley & Skinner handmade leather case packed in a gift-wrapped Bentley & Skinner black and gold presentation box. Shortly afterwards we will send you on a valuation for insurance purposes for your reference and safekeeping.
