This spectacular fine necklace is crafted in 14k yellow gold with alternating woven “S” links and sections of white gold pavé-set with brilliant diamonds. The centerpiece features an elegant bypass “ribbon” silhouette, showcasing two opposing curves of diamonds that meet in a sculptural twist—luxurious, fluid, and unmistakably couture in presence.
A total of 61 round brilliant-cut diamonds are French-set in shared prongs throughout the design, weighing approximately 0.75 carats in total. Diamonds are graded G–H color and SI2/I1 clarity, offering exceptional sparkle and fire that is enhanced by the contrasting tones of white and yellow gold.
The necklace measures 17 inches in length, with individual gold links measuring 8.00 mm x 2.00 mm. It secures with a box clasp stamped “14K” and fitted with a safety catch. The total weight is 16.92 grams, offering noticeable substance, structure, and durability.
This jewel reflects the high craftsmanship of late-20th-century goldsmithing, merging bold sculptural form with feminine refinement. Pieces of this construction and diamond weight are uncommon in the market, especially in this sophisticated ribbon-twist motif. It stands as a museum-worthy heirloom jewel—ideal for archival preservation and serious collectors of fine jewelry.
Dating to approximately the late 1980s to early 1990s, the necklace represents enduring luxury and the elevated design language of its era.
