• A proposito di opere d'arte

  An exceptional Romantic Victorian choker, ca. 1860, featuring over 13 carats of natural diamonds in a lyrical composition of open scrolls and articulated drops. What sets this jewel apart is its remarkable use of old brilliant cuts throughout—eschewingthe more common rose cuts, even for the tiniest stones. Once convertible into a tiara, the necklace’s regal poise and delicate detailing evoke candlelit evenings and whispered conversation. Impressive yet finely wrought, this piece bridges statelygrandeur with sentimental elegance, offering a rare chance to wear history at the neckline.
