About the Item

A diamond Riviere necklace, consisting of fifty-six graduated old brilliant-cut diamonds ranging from 0.3 to 2 carats, weighing a total of 34.5 carats, all cut-down set in silver to an 18ct yellow gold mount, with old brilliant-cut diamond-set clasp and safety chain, this necklace initially made circa 1880, remounted by Bentley & Skinner in 2012, the necklace measuring approximately 40 cm in length and 0.5-0.9cm in width, gross weight 38.05 grams. This necklace is in excellent condition. Later hallmarked 18ct gold and silver London 2021, bearing the Bentley & Skinner sponsor mark. Popular since the eighteenth century, there is nothing quite like the diamond Riviere necklace. Riviere necklaces are simple yet regal, recalling the candlelit ballrooms of a bygone era while still completely wearable in the modern world. This necklace, created around 1880, comes from the collection of Bentley & Skinner, the London jewellers by appointment to both Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. Featuring fifty-six lively and fiery diamonds graduating in size, this necklace would be just as at home at a Victorian ball as it would a modern evening event. Statement-making yet incredibly versatile, this necklace also features a small hidden link inside the largest central diamond, from which can be suspended a pendant for an even more dramatic look. 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. Please note: because of the high value of this item, an export licence will be required to ship this item outside of the United Kingdom. This process will add an extra 2-4 weeks onto the shipment time. Thank you for your understanding.
