Description
The highly articulated necklace of stylised wreath design set throughout with marquise-shaped and brilliant-cut diamonds, supporting a detachable tassel set with pear-shaped and brilliant-cut diamonds, length approximately 520mm, signed VCA NY, numbered, brooch fitting for the detachable tassel enhanced with baguette diamonds, unsigned, numbered, maker's mark for Van Cleef & Arpels, French assay marks for platinum and gold.
Accompanied by seven GIA reports, dated 19 September 2023, stating that the diamonds weighing 3.48, 3.19, 2.67, 2.18, 1.57, 1.56 and 1.55 carats, are D Colour, VVS2 to VS2 Clarity.
Van Cleef & Arpels' sophisticated, timeless design is characterised by the highest level of craftsmanship and the ingenious use of transformable pieces. This superlative jewel is a prime illustration of both aspects, through its highly flexible linking and the ease with which the cascading tassel can be transformed into a stylish brooch by means of a fitting, embellished with baguette diamonds.
