Yellow Gold Platinum
Period jewellery carries a confidence that cannot be reproduced, and this early twentieth-century lavallière is a fine example. Cushion, oval and pear-shaped rubies glow against old-cut, round and lozenge-shaped diamonds, the whole set in platinum and yellow gold in the graceful, drop-led manner of its age. The lavallière form drapes the décolletage with movement, the way it was designed to a century ago. Pieces of this vintage, surviving complete and wearable, are genuinely uncommon, and they reward the collector who values craftsmanship and continuity over fashion. It wears beautifully against both daywear and evening, and it carries a story that a new piece simply cannot. Carat weights, colour and clarity are available on request, and we are happy to share what is known of the necklace's history alongside independent documentation. We would welcome you to a private viewing, where its hand-work can be appreciated closely and terms explored discreetly in the Negotiation Room.
