About the Item

Vintage Diamond Neckligée Necklace in 19.2K Yellow Gold, Portuguese, 20th Century. A luminous expression of 20th-century Portuguese elegance, this vintage negligée necklace is a study in precision and restraint — and an homage to the eternal allure of the diamond rivière. Crafted in richly toned 19.2 karat yellow gold, the necklace is set with 131 dazzling brilliant-cut diamonds — 129 round and two graceful pear-shaped stones — totaling approximately 8 carats. Each gem is individually bezel-set, lending the piece a fluid, seamless geometry that drapes effortlessly along the collarbone. The design culminates in a twin-drop pendant, each strand finishing in a scintillating pear-cut diamond that swings delicately with every movement, evoking the feminine charm and flirtatious asymmetry that defines the classic negligée style. At once refined and radiant, this necklace captures the poise of mid-century European jewelry, where craftsmanship meets quiet drama. Whether worn as a statement piece or layered with other heirlooms, it offers timeless sophistication and undeniable sparkle.

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...
