About the Item

A exceptional jewel from the late 20th century, this Italian Modernist necklace was finely crafted in 18 karat yellow gold, most likely by a skilled Valenza atelier, circa 1975–1985. At its heart rests an impressive 18 carat Persian turquoise cabochon, celebrated for its vibrant sky-blue hue and smooth polish. Surrounding the turquoise is a dramatic frame of diamonds totaling approximately 6.15 carats, a sophisticated combination of round brilliants and baguette cuts. The precise setting emphasizes both brilliance and geometry, enhancing the rich color of the center stone. Suspended from a substantial 18K gold curb chain, the necklace has a luxurious weight of 39 grams. The pendant measures 1.5 x 1.75 inches, while the chain length is 11.5 inches, offering versatility and presence.
