This exceptional cultured pearl and diamond necklace 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. Five rows of lustrous cultured pearls are embellished by two magnificent diamond plaques and a striking central pendant. The pendant has an ornate, Georgian feel to it, featuring wonderfully lively old-cut diamonds. The old-cut diamonds recall the romance of a candlelit evening and catch the light beautifully. The central pendant can be detached from the pearls and worn as a pendant suspended from a different necklace or worn as a brooch. This is a perfect necklace for a night at the opera, a white-tie dinner, or a statement accessory to a bridal look.
Should you choose to make this purchase we will 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.
