About the Item

A spectacular vintage French mid-century collar necklace, hand-crafted in solid 18 karat yellow gold, featuring a sculptural wave-link pattern accented with 1.50 carats of round brilliant diamonds. This exceptional piece embodies the bold sophistication of the 1960s French jewelry aesthetic, where artistry and structure merge seamlessly. Each individual link has been meticulously formed and assembled, creating a smooth, fabric-like flexibility while maintaining substantial weight and presence — totaling an impressive 117.6 grams of gold. Fifteen near-colorless G-color, VS-clarity diamonds are prong-set along the front section, offering refined sparkle without overpowering the sculptural goldwork. The necklace measures approximately 15.0 inches in length and ½ inch in width, designed to rest elegantly along the collarbone for a timeless, close-fitting silhouette. A secure box clasp closure completes the design, ensuring comfort and confidence while wearing. This jewel represents the best of 1960s European craftsmanship — possibly of French origin, crafted during an era when houses such as Boucheron, Van Cleef Arpels, and Bulgari defined luxury with bold gold architecture and understated diamond detailing. Whether worn with a tailored evening look or layered with other vintage pieces, this necklace radiates confidence, elegance, and timeless appeal — a true collector’s treasure suited to Palm Beach, New York, or Parisian high-jewelry wardrobes. Metal: Solid 18K Yellow Gold Total Gold Weight: 117.6 grams Origin: France Diamonds: Approx. 1.50 carats total weight
