About the Item

Portuguese Modernist Diamond Drop Necklace in 19.2kt White Gold, Late 20th Century. A study in restraint and rhythm, this sculptural necklace in 19.2kt white gold reflects the purity of late 20th-century Portuguese modernism. Its articulated tubular links create a seamless architectural line, culminating in a single round brilliant-cut diamond—a minimalist punctuation at the base of the throat. The diamond, estimated at 0.10 carats, is bezel-set within a high-polish spherical terminal, echoing the Bauhausian balance of geometry and function. Worn close to the neck, the piece moves with precision and ease, its concealed clasp maintaining the uninterrupted silhouette. Crafted in Portugal, where 19.2kt gold remains a national standard, this necklace speaks to both cultural specificity and international design language—refined, rarefied, and quietly bold.

Important Natural 23 Carat Ceylon Sapphire Diamond Necklace 1950s Provenance
Located in Lisbon, PT
Important one-of-a-kind 23-carat Ceylon natural no-heat sapphire and diamond convertible necklace/brooch in platinum and White gold, Portuguese, circa 1957, crafted for an occasion graced by Queen Elizabeth II during her royal visit to Lisbon, accompanied by a custom-fitted case. This exceptional and singular vintage jewel hails from the 1950s, an era of unrivaled elegance and exquisite craftsmanship. It boasts a transformative centerpiece crafted as a convertible necklace-brooch of unparalleled artistry. At its heart lies a resplendent round-shape natural Ceylon sapphire, a dazzling gem of remarkable rarity, weighing a remarkable 23.01 carats. The centerpiece is an exquisite focal point, a dazzling spectacle adorned with a stylized floral cluster delicately adorned with round brilliant-cut and marquise brilliant-cut diamonds, further accentuated by smaller oval-shape sapphires. This captivating cluster extends gracefully on either side, adorned with delicate swags of alternating marquise brilliant-cut diamonds and oval-shape sapphires, culminating in a sublime sapphire and diamond cluster terminal, which transitions seamlessly into an articulated link necklace meticulously set with diamonds throughout. The versatility of this Mid-Century jewel is underscored by its capability to transform into a striking brooch, secured with a click-shut and safety catch fitting, further augmented by a hinged pin brooch fitting. The exceptional 23-carat Ceylon sapphire stands as a testament to its rarity. Natural, non-heated sapphires of this caliber, especially surpassing 5 carats, are extraordinarily rare and highly sought-after, adding unparalleled allure and value to this piece. This remarkable jewel's historical provenance is steeped in significance, commissioned to Casa Branca de Brito jewelers by a distinguished Portuguese Lady...
