About this necklace

This exquisitely fashioned lavaliere (and brooch) is resplendent with eight sizable, gloriously glittering, icy-white European-cut diamonds, totaling 4.60 carats and set amid a fancy openwork plume-style backdrop frosted with tiny twinkling stones. Dancing below, and adding a lovely spot of creamy pink color, is a conch pearl drop. Formed inside the Queen conch mollusk, these extraordinary gems are not traditional pearls; their invading irritants are covered in layers of a calcareous concentration instead of the nacre that covers all other pearls. Very rare and found only in the tropical waters of the Caribbean and Bermuda, this dreamy and delightful pearl is the perfect finishing flourish for this elegant late Victorian/Edwardian-era jewel (circa the turn of the 20th century). Total diamond weight, 5.60 carats. Hand fabricated in platinum over 14K gold. Chain measures 18 inches.
