This vintage necklace, crafted in the late 1980s to early 1990s, embodies the bold and refined aesthetic of the era. Made in 14k two-tone gold, the necklace features alternating polished yellow gold links accented with white gold diamond panels, creating a sleek geometric design. The articulated construction allows for a fluid drape along the neckline, making it both elegant and substantial.
The necklace measures 16 inches in length, with a tapered width that begins at 3/16 inch near the clasp and widens to 3/8 inch at the center, emphasizing its structured form. It has a total weight of 50.1 grams, giving it a luxurious presence when worn. The diamond sections are channel-set with brilliant-cut diamonds, adding understated sparkle and contrast against the polished gold.
Tested for 14k purity (though unmarked), this piece reflects the craftsmanship and style trends of its time, when sleek, versatile gold and diamond necklaces were a staple of fine jewelry. A statement yet timeless design, it transitions seamlessly from day to evening wear.
