Description

  • platinum, diamond, suede
The floral choker of swag design decorated with bows, set with numerous old mine, old European and rose-cut diamonds weighing approximately 8.00 carats, supported by a black velvet ribbon, length 14ΒΌ inches, with French assay and maker's marks; circa 1900.

Condition

In good condition. The velvet is in very good condition and was likely replaced recently. The diamonds are approximately G-J color, VS-SI clarity. The velvet ribbon is long, 14 1/4 inches and therefore it might not work as a choker for people with smaller necks. It is not adjustable without the aid of a jeweler.
