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, meticulously arranged in interlinked floral motifs, shimmer with captivating brilliance thanks to their foil-backed settings—a technique designed to maximise light reflection in candlelit evening gatherings.Though evocative of the Georgian era 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 layer of silver applied on the front), a hallmark of Dutch craftsmanship of the period.The necklace weighs a substantial 19.78 grams, reflecting both its craftsmanship and its 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.A true statement piece, combining historic craftsmanship with timeless elegance—a masterpiece of Dutch jewellery from the turn of the century.
