Citrine, Diamond & Pearl Convertible Necklace Bracelet
Located in Brisbane City, QLD
We love versatile jewellery and this suite is extremely wearable in that it can adorn the body in three ways. The suite comprises a four strand necklace of individually knotted akoya pearls with a matched four strand bracelet, and a detachable citrine and diamond enhancer which can be worn on the necklace, the bracelet, and also as a singular pendant. The citrine and diamond enhancer has been set in 14 karat yellow gold and slides onto the clasp of the necklace and the bracelet, held in place with a figure of 8 safety catch. The necklace and bracelet both feature the same style 14 karat gold tongue and box clasp which are both working well and are secure. The citrine and diamond pendant can also be worn as a pendant on a fine chain via the small gold bale attached to the gold mounting. The necklace has been designed so that the detachable enhancer sits to the side, but can also be worn without the enhancer and the plain gold clasp worn to the back of the neck out of sight. A delightfully versatile suite which presents old world class and charm.
