This gem cocktail necklace came from a piece that was put together in the 1920's- a highly decorative (meaning: gaudy and a bit busy) necklace which no one would ever wear again. The stones were all different sizes (as we say in the trade, not calibrated) so in they went into a gem cocktail necklace, to move about and sparkle in the light of day.
These emeralds and diamonds are set into a hand fabricated platinum mounting which is on a thick platinum chain. Notice the detail on the clasp- the diamond set into the loop makes it much easier to take on and off. The weight and the quality of this piece is really quite astounding. SWEET.
