About the Item

This Contemporary Diamond Pave Articulated Lavalier Necklace has a unique combination of elements from jewelry history yet is sparkles and coheres like an exquisite modern piece. Crafted in 18K white gold in the 21st century, circa 2000s, the necklace is set with a spectacular 240 round brilliant-cut diamonds and 6 emerald-cut diamonds with an estimated total weight of 3.58 carats. The diamonds are equivalent to G-H color and VS-SI clarity. The weight of the 9.5-inch (24.13 cm) necklace is 19.72 grams. The lavalier, sometimes called a Y necklace since it resembles that shape, is usually a chain-based necklace comprised of small links with a long, linear style that culminates in a decorative drop pendant, typically a pearl or gemstone. The design came into fashion in the 17th century, named for Françoise Louise de La Baume Le Blanc, Duchess de La Vallière (1644-1710), mistress of King Louis XIV, was very popular around 1900. This piece is a geometric, modern take on a lavalier necklace which swaps out the delicate chain for a more constructed, almost Machine Age look of bold, articulated links. Each link, be it small round, open round, elongated oval, or elongated open hexagon, is either collet-set or pavé-set with diamonds, the borders dotted with milgrain, a technique popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries where small grains of metal were used to adorn the edges of a setting for the purposes of complementing the gemstones and extending the sparkle. For visual cohesiveness, even the curved settings linking the “drop pendant” that feature the 6 emerald-cut diamonds are dotted with milgrain. The loveliness of the diamond sparkle is maximized by the beautifully crafted settings, open to the back, specifically designed to allow light to pass through the setting and into the gem. This is especially important for transparent or translucent gems like diamonds that can refract light and sparkle brighter. The elongated open hexagon motif seamlessly worked into the push clasp at the back is another exquisite detail demonstrating the level of artisanship and fine design of this grand necklace. Measures approx. 16.5" in length (42 cm), pendant 1.5" (3.81 cm). 240 round brilliant white diamonds and 6 emerald-cut diamonds. Diamond weight approx. 3.58 carats total, estimated G-H colors, VS-SI clarity. Overall weight approx. 19.72 grams, made in 18k white gold. Circa 2000s.
