About the Item

An important Victorian diamond cluster necklace, consisting of eighteen diamond-set clusters graduating is size from the centre, connected with gold trace chain embellished with eighteen single diamond-set collets in-between, the central diamond estimated to weigh approximately 2 carats and the total combined weight of the diamonds including the central one estimated at 44 carats, all cut-down set in silver with gold back and gold hidden clasp, circa 1880, measuring approximately 43 x 2cm, gross weight 41.7 grams. This antique necklace is in very good condition of its age. Unmarked, tested as silver and 9ct gold, with 15ct gold clasp. A radiant necklace. This gorgeous necklace features eighteen clusters set with alluring diamonds, each between smaller diamonds which catch the light beautifully. The graduation in size of the diamond clusters is subtle, but still draws the eye to the largest cluster at the front of the necklace, which scintillates beautifully. The yellow gold of the setting contrasts with the cool diamonds, adding a lovely warmth to the necklace. The epitome of Victorian style and sophistication, this necklace is on offer at Bentley and Skinner, the London jewellers by appointment to both Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, and will look stunning with a strapless gown.
