Cartier Diamond Line Necklace and Pearl Drop Pendant in 18K Yellow Gold
Located in Dallas, TX
Exceptional Cartier Paris diamond line necklace featuring a detachable large pearl drop and diamond pendant. The necklace and pendant boast approximately 12 carats of finest quality diamonds (E-F color and VVS clarity) set in lavish 18 karat yellow gold setting. The necklace, which can be worn in a diamond riviere style (without the pendant), features round brilliant diamonds meticulously set within gold navettes and round bezels in alternating groups of three. They offer incredible sparkle, scintillation, and brightness, further enhanced by a high-polish gold frame. Alteration of navette and bezel shapes gives the necklace remarkable dynamism and enhances fire of its diamonds and their dazzling play with light. Measuring 16 inches (40.6cm) in length, the necklace drapes gracefully and comfortably around the neck. Secure hidden clasp (also set with diamonds) and security latch ensure utmost peace of mind while wearing it. Drop-style enhancer pendant seamlessly attaches to the front center of the necklace. It features an impressive white pearl (measuring 15 by 12 mm) characterized by excellent luster, free of blemishes, and glowing with subtle rose overtones. The pearl is crowned with a fine yellow gold cap encrusted with glittering diamonds of highest Cartier-quality. Pearl-drop pendant measures 1.5 inches (38mm) in length and radiates luxurious feminine glamour as it highlights upper decolletage. The necklace epitomizes classic elegance and luxurious sophistication for which Cartier is celebrated. It offers wonderful versatility to its wearer: the diamond necklace alone can serve as a refined glittering complement to a casual outfit; adding the lavish pearl pendant makes it a superbly glamorous highlight of a dressy one. A true dazzling gem of Cartier craftsmanship and design, this necklace will enchant and delight its new owner. The necklace is a vintage creation no longer made by Cartier making it rare and collectible. It is in excellent condition with Cartier signature, serial number and French hallmarks on both necklace and enhancer pendant. Also available under separate listing in our store is a matching Cartier diamond bracelet from the same collection. Summary: - Classically elegant Cartier diamond line...

Vintage Pendant Necklaces

Whether you’re layering multiple jewelry pieces or opting for a single strand, vintage pendant necklaces are versatile accessories that can elevate your casual wear as easily as they can add a creative flourish to your formal attire.

The earliest jewelry was less about accessorizing than it was about wearers arming themselves with amulets. In Ancient Egypt, some amulets featured a loop so that they could be strung around one’s neck. While rubies have long been one of the few gemstones that can give diamonds a run for their money, members of some ancient civilizations valued the stones from the get-go, donning ruby pendants as well as other stones with the belief that these adornments would bring protection, healing powers or strength. Today, we still wear our charm bracelets and charm pendants around our necks for good luck.

Later, pendant necklaces, like most fine jewelry, were worn strictly by royalty or the upper class and conferred wealth and prestige. This changed over time, thankfully, as wearing jewelry became more widespread, a democratized means of personal expression.

During the 18th and 19th centuries, pendant necklaces evolved from their status as spiritual amulets, but the jewels still carried deep personal significance. Victorian pendants, in particular, were part of the “mourning jewelry” tradition. Wearers would embed their pendants with locks of hair from a deceased loved one as a way of grieving in the wake of a loss. In the case of cameo jewelry, some pendants were even decorated with miniature hand-carved portraits in a detailed raised relief. Today, portraiture is still a characteristic of many of the hand-carved pendant necklaces offered by Italian jewelry house Scala Gioielli.

Luxury fine jewelry brands such as Cartier, BVLGARI and David Yurman offer their own unique interpretations of the cherished accessory, embellishing platinum or gold pendant necklaces with diamonds, sapphires and other stones.

On 1stDibs, find an extraordinary range of vintage pendant necklaces and other necklaces today.
