AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An impressive, one-of-a-kind, handcrafted Italian 18K yellow gold necklace, featuring an exceptional sculptural design centred with a vibrant 1.82 ct natural pear-cut emerald, beautifully framed by twenty natural brilliant-cut diamonds totalling approximately 0.70 ct.
The necklace showcases intricate, richly textured openwork with flowing, organic forms, reflecting the artistry and individuality of traditional Italian goldsmithing. Its substantial 46.2 g weight in 18K gold gives the piece a luxurious presence, while the vivid green emerald creates a striking contrast against the warmth of the polished yellow gold.
With its substantial 18K gold content, this necklace represents not only an exceptional piece of Italian jewellery but also a tangible investment in precious metal. Combining intrinsic gold value with natural gemstones, individual craftsmanship and distinctive design, it offers lasting appeal beyond changing fashion trends.
A distinctive example of Italian craftsmanship from the 1990s, this unique necklace combines bold artistic design, precious gemstones and meticulous hand-finishing. Its sculptural composition and exceptional character make it a remarkable statement piece.
Hallmarks: The clasp is stamped 750, confirming 18K gold, alongside an Italian regional/manufacturer's mark and a distinctive maker's mark featuring a reversed “P” and an “R.” The gold content has also been independently verified through testing.
Gemstones:
Emerald: One natural pear-cut emerald, weighing 1.82 ct, displaying a vivid, richly saturated green colour with excellent visual presence. No treatment is known, although treatment cannot be excluded.
Diamonds: Twenty natural brilliant-cut diamonds, approximately 0.70 ct total, estimated H colour and SI clarity, with good cut and attractive brilliance.
Manufacture & Period: Handcrafted in Italy, circa 1990s. A one-of-a-kind creation featuring an intricate three-dimensional openwork design, richly textured surfaces and a warm yellow-gold finish.
Total Weight: Approximately 46.2 g.
Condition: Excellent vintage condition. Beautifully preserved, with no significant signs of wear, damage or restoration observed. The necklace appears to retain its original construction and gemstones.
Shipping: Carefully packaged and dispatched with tracked, fully insured shipping.
