Art Deco Motif Pearl Diamond Necklace

The sections are graduated toward the centre, which is what keeps the piece sitting level. 404 diamonds cover the face, set tight enough that the ground reads as stone rather than metal.

That is 514 settings, cut and closed one at a time. The diamonds and pearls are matched for tone before anything is set, which takes longer than matching for size. 18KT gold holds the settings rigid where 22KT would move.

18KT Gold. Diamonds: 404 pcs, 8.43 cts. Pearls: 110 pcs, 65 cts. Made to order.
