An Edwardian natural pearl and diamond necklace, the pear-shaped pearl measuring approximately 6.0 x 10.7 mm accompanied by GCS report stating to be natural of saltwater origin, suspended from a diamond-set surmount of foliate design within an oval frame of old-cut diamonds graduating in size, to knife-edge stems with alternating diamond-set collets and leaves, to a fine platinum trace chain with bolt ring clasp, the diamonds estimated to weigh 1.9 carats in total, all mounted in platinum and gold, circa 1905, measuring 41.5 x 2.5 cm, gross weight 8.7 grams.

An elegant and refined pearl and diamond necklace. At the centrepiece of this necklace hangs a lustrous natural pearl of saltwater origin, surrounded by glimmering old-cut diamonds. The delicate foliate design features leaves and diamond-set collets on a platinum trace chain, and is the perfect example of Edwardian jewellery, which is beautifully intricate in its design. The old-cut diamonds positioned between the leaves, delicately threaded onto the fine chase chain, look like the dainty closed petals of a flower waiting to bloom. This necklace will add elegance to any outfit.
