About the Item

A turn of 20th century diamond fringe tiara/necklace, graduating from the centre formed by thirteen knife-edge bars, the central bar set at the top with an old cut-diamond estimated to weigh 0.85 carats, each bar terminating to an old-cut diamond and embellished with small singe-diamond millegrain-set collets, the base consisting of eight single-stone diamond collets connected with seven triangular shaped diamond-set plaques, all the diamonds except of central stone estimated to weigh a further total of 8 carats, mounted in platinum to yellow gold back and attached to silver-gild frame, accompanied by detachable back necklace section set with further thirteen old-cut diamonds estimated to weigh a further total of 2 carats, circa 1900, bearing later French import marks circa 1920s, measuring 4.8 x 12.2cm, gross weight 36.9 grams. This antique tiara/necklace is in very good condition for its age. Bearing French import marks for platinum and 18ct gold, the frame probably later made in gilded silver. Hailing from the splendid tiara collection of Bentley & Skinner, the London distinguished jewellers by royal appointment to His Majesty the King, is this 20th century diamond convertible tiara/necklace. Adorning the tiara are a series of elegant bars, each gracefully graduating from the centre and adorned with old-cut diamonds. Each bar is delicately embellished with small, single-diamond millegrain-set collets, creating a stunning visual harmony. The base of the tiara boasts a collection of diamonds, meticulously mounted in platinum and set against a yellow gold back, all intricately attached to a silver-gilded frame. Completing this magnificent piece is a detachable back necklace section, adorned with an additional thirteen old-cut diamonds. Crafted circa 1900 with elements from the 1920s, this tiara exudes timeless beauty and sophistication.
