Description
19 ¼ in by 6 in laid flat.
Necklace worn by Prince in the music video for "Diamonds and Pearls," ca. 1991.
Constructed of four 19" strands of faux pearls coupled by a silver metal deco-style paisley-shaped clasp set with emerald cut and round cut faux diamonds. The front of the necklace is designed to be a four-strand choker. Attached to the paisley clasp on the back are twelve dangling strands with tear drop pearls at the bottom—two tear drop pearls are missing which is evident in the music video.
Acquired in the mid-1990s at a black-tie charity event held at the Drake Hotel in Chicago.
Throughout the video for the lead single from Prince's thirteenth studio album, "Diamonds and Pearls," he handles the present lot.
