Make an offer
An exceptional Victorian romantic choker necklace, dating from around 1860, adorned with over 13 carats of natural diamonds in a lyrical composition of open scrolls and articulated drops. This jewel stands out for its remarkable use of old brilliant cuts, avoiding the more common rose cuts, even for the smallest stones. Once transformed into a tiara, the royal elegance and delicate details of the necklace evoke candlelit evenings and whispered conversations. Impressive and yet finely crafted, this piece combines majestic grandeur and sentimental elegance, offering a rare second-hand to wear history at the neckline.
