Vintage Necklace With Sapphire & Diamonds Set in Gold, c. 1985

Polished gold surfaces, boldly coloured gemstones and large forms are characteristic features of jewellery from the 1980s. This era celebrated powerful designs and took pleasure in showcasing luxury. Intricate or overly playful creations were not in demand; instead, wide chains — often in curb patterns — were typical, worn as necklaces or bracelets. The exquisite necklace presented here is a typical piece of jewellery from this period. The chain is crafted in the classic round curb pattern and made of high-carat yellow gold. Each of the fully solid links, with domed upper surfaces, is flexibly connected to the next. This makes the necklace comfortable to wear, and with a weight of over one hundred grams, it conveys a substantial and luxurious presence around the neck. At its centre, the necklace features a pendant set with a sapphire and diamonds. The natural sapphire is cut as an oval cabochon and securely mounted in a broad gold bezel setting. The stone displays the unique internal inclusions by which natural minerals can easily be distinguished from synthetic gemstones. The piece is in beautiful condition and represents a timeless item of neck jewellery. It comes from a Bavarian collection. An independent expert report confirms the quality of the materials used.
