About the Item

Crafted from 14 karat white gold, diamonds, mabe pearl and rice pearls, this torsade was formerly in the collection of the Counts of Hardenberg. The torsade comprises 29 strands of rice pearls strung on silk which terminate with a 14 karat white gold clasp that has been set with diamonds and a central mabe pearl. The round brilliant cut diamonds in this piece are each of G colour and VS clarity totalling 56 pieces and 2.10 carat. The clasp has an integrated tongue and box closure with a very nifty safety catch to the rear so that the necklace stays secure to the neck when worn. In really lovely order this necklace can be worn in a number of ways - with the clasp to the rear, the side, or to the front, and can be worn twisted as a torsade, or untwisted as a multi strand pearl necklace. The marking '585' to the rear of the clasp has us confident that this necklace started life in Germany during the mid 20th Century, however the very small maker's mark is indecipherable. A really stunning piece of cocktail jewellery which has such an Audrey Hepburn 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' quality to it. Marked - '585' for gold purity and unidentified maker's mark Measures - approximately 39cm in length when untwisted Total diamond weight - 2.10 carat Total weight of piece - 183 grams

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. Marked - '585' & '14K' for gold purity Measures - 58.5cm L (necklace) 19cm L (bracelet) Total weight of set - 369 grams (combined set) N.B. The plain gold chain...
