This remarkable vintage necklace, crafted in the Netherlands circa 1900, features a total of 69 rose-cut diamonds, all set in silver foil-backed mounts.At the heart of the design is a superb diamond drop element, its central rose-cut diamond weighing approximately 1 carat and measuring 6mm in diameter. The remaining stones, arranged in interlinked floral motifs, shimmer with captivating brilliance thanks to their foil-backed settings; an antique diamond-setting technique designed to maximise light reflection in candlelit evening gatherings.Despite its stylistic Georgian-era influence, with its use of rose-cut diamonds and silver-backed settings, this piece is distinctly Dutch, reflecting a continuation of traditional jewellery techniques well into the early 20th century.While the outer surface of the necklace appears to be silver—boasting a beautifully aged patina—it is actually constructed in solid 14K yellow gold (with a thin layer of silver applied on top of the front).The necklace weighs a substantial 20 grams, and has a statement-worthy presence.Measuring 41cm (16 inches) in length, it sits gracefully on the collarbone, with sectioned components designed to move and catch the light with every turn.Condition: Very good, with all stones securely set and the box clasp functioning perfectly.
