About the Item

Handmade Heavy German 18 Karat Grosse Lapis Diamond Necklace, circa 1972 Phenomenal heavy 133.9 grams, piece of modernist history. This piece has excellent detail that exhibits modernist sculpting and workmanship. Most modernists wanted to move away from the classic Victorian, Retro and Art Deco styles, and sponsored a more enthusiastic and distinctive piece that can almost not be recreated. This fine, one of a kind “Grosse” necklace is all handcrafted in solid 18k yellow gold, as you can see it resembles many very organic looking thin nuggets of gold, which then are carefully put together so that they will be individually and clearly seen. As you get more toward the center the necklace graduates and gets wider. Showcased within the center of the necklace are five circular lapis pieces that peak through the gold that are displaying an individual diamond. The five diamonds are scattered through the center. becoming a total of .50 carats. Wearable this pice is truly a collectible Metal Purity: 18k Designer: “GROSSE” Diamond Carat: .50 ct Colored Stone: Lapis Weight: 133.9 Place of Origin: Germany Circa: 1970-1972 Size: One Size
