Chopard Happy Diamonds Elephant Pendant Necklace
Reference 79/5079-20
Size of Pendant: 31mm x 23mm
Total gold weight: around 30 grams

An exceptionally rare and highly collectible Chopard s Elephant pendant necklace crafted in solid 18-karat yellow gold and accompanied by its original Chopard presentation box, Certificate of Origin, and matching original Chopard necklace.

Created within Chopard's celebrated Happy Diamonds collection, this charming elephant motif perfectly embodies the creativity and elegance that have made the collection one of the most recognizable jewellery designs of the modern era. Introduced in the 1970s, Happy Diamonds revolutionized luxury jewellery by allowing diamonds to move freely between two sapphire crystals, creating a captivating display of light and movement. Chopard famously described these diamonds as being "happier when free."

This particular example is among the more desirable and rarely encountered animal-themed Happy Diamonds creations. The elephant, a universal symbol of wisdom, prosperity, strength, and good fortune, is beautifully executed in polished 18K yellow gold and enhanced by a pavé-set diamond ear. At its centre are three freely moving full-cut diamonds enclosed between sapphire crystals, constantly dancing with every movement of the wearer.

According to the original Chopard Certificate of Origin, the pendant is set with twenty-two diamonds totaling approximately 0.18 carats, three floating full-cut diamonds totaling approximately 0.17 carats, and one faceted sapphire of approximately 0.01 carats. The total diamond weight is approximately 0.35 carats.

An especially attractive feature of this example is its substantial weight. Including the original Chopard necklace, the piece weighs approximately 30.29 grams, significantly exceeding the weight of many comparable Happy Diamonds pendants and providing a luxurious feel on the wrist and neck alike. The necklace is fully hallmarked 750 for 18-karat gold and bears the correct Chopard signatures and reference engravings.

Adding further desirability is the complete provenance package. The original Certificate of Origin confirms reference 79/5079-20 and details the precise gemstone specification. The certificate is dated 3 January 2001 and stamped by the original retailer, Finnair Airport Shop in Vantaa, Finland, providing a documented history from the time of original sale.

Discontinued for many years and seldom encountered with its original certificate, presentation box, matching necklace, and documented provenance, this remarkable Happy Diamonds Elephant represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of Chopard's most charming and collectible jewellery creations. Combining substantial gold content, the iconic moving diamond concept, exceptional craftsmanship, and complete originality, it is a piece that will appeal equally to collectors of fine jewellery, enthusiasts of the Happy Diamonds collection, and discerning buyers seeking an enduring symbol of luck, elegance, and timeless Swiss luxury.
