About the Item

This contrasting and bold Retro necklace from the 1940s is an eccentric blend of luxurious materials and eye-catching design, crafted with exquisite attention to detail. At its heart is a striking 14K yellow and rose gold circular enhancer, set with 40 old European cut diamonds totaling 2 carats. The diamonds, graded E-F color and VS-1 clarity, are pave-set in platinum, creating a brilliant shimmer that contrasts beautifully with the warmth of the gold. The enhancer showcases a platinum navette-shaped center framed by an elegant ribbon motif, adding both texture and sophistication to the design. This dazzling centerpiece is complemented by a dramatic sixteen-strand hematite bead necklace, featuring smooth, 2-millimeter beads that lend a subtle metallic sheen. The necklace is finished with a 14K yellow gold clasp, seamlessly tying the look together. Measuring 19 inches in length, with the enhancer measuring 38 millimeters in diameter, this piece makes a bold statement while maintaining a refined elegance. Weighing 16 grams, it offers both comfort and presence, making it perfect for those who appreciate the unique charm of Retro jewelry. Whether worn for a special occasion or as an artful addition to a curated collection, this necklace embodies the daring spirit of the 1940s with a timeless, sophisticated twist.
