About This Piece
This striking antique diamond pendant-necklace glows the way only old diamonds can. Round, cushion and pear-shaped old-cut diamonds — faceted by hand, by eye and lamplight, generations ago — are set in silver-topped gold and bear a French mark, with a detachable pendant. Old-cut stones throw a softer, warmer, candlelit light than any modern brilliant; this is a jewel with genuine age in every facet.
Overview & Legacy Story
Silver-topped gold — silver over a gold base — was the classic antique setting that made diamonds appear whiter by candlelight, and the French mark attests to its period European origin. Every Legacy piece is presented privately, documented in full, before any decision.
