A magnificent Italian emerald and diamond necklace of exceptional weight and craftsmanship, created during the 1930s–40s. The design reflects Italy’s taste at the time for jewels inspired by 18th- and early 19th-century traditions, with gemstones cut and set in the manner of Georgian and Victorian era jewellery.The necklace is composed of 28 step-cut emeralds, totalling approximately 11.05 carats, and 91 old mine-cut diamonds, weighing approximately 8.63 carats. The diamonds are mounted in silver-topped 18K gold rubover settings, each with large open cutlets characteristic of antique stones, while the emeralds are framed in cut-down comet settings. Six principal cluster panels form the centrepiece: three oval clusters, each with a further tear-shaped drops below.Though not strictly “revival jewellery,” this style represented what was fashionable in Italy during the early 20th century: a return to heritage forms and enduring techniques of gem setting. The open-backed construction allows both natural brilliance and ease of cleaning, making it practical as well as spectacular.A jewel of imposing presence, the necklace weighs an impressive 57.41 grams and measures 44 cm (17.5 inches) in length. It is completed with a concealed cluster clasp and an additional safety chain.Date: c.1930s–40sOrigin: ItalyMaterials: 18K gold with silver settings; emeralds (approx. 11.05 cts), old mine-cut diamonds (approx. 8.63 cts)Dimensions: 44 cm (17.5 in) lengthWeight: 57.41 gMarks: Stamped 750 on safety chainCondition: Excellent; natural inclusions to emeralds consistent with type
