Platinum, 18K, Rock Crystal, Diamond and Onyx Vintage Sautoir.
About the Item
Vintage sautoir, earlier to mid twentieth century composed of frosted rock crystal, moonstone, fancy cut onyx and diamonds. This long necklace suspends an approximately 3.5 inch pendant from two 19 inch lines of carved frosted rock crystals each of which are interspersed toward the pendant with 18 polished fancy cut onyx rondels all strung on 18K gold chain.
The clasp of the piece is circa 1920 and probably a later addition. It is platinum with 10 bead set diamonds weighing approximately 0.34 cts. At the other end of the piece is a pendant, the flexible top of which is a carved frosted rock crystal circle that connects with 18, weighing approximately 0.015 ct., rose cut diamonds, bead set with black enamel on 18K gold. The other side of this same circle has a 9 rose diamond line with black enamel on 18K gold which connects with a combination of old European cut diamonds, 6 in number, weighing approximately 0.14 cts., all of which connects to a stylized tear drop of frosted rock crystal that has 5 natural moonstones, probably Ceylon as evident of their light blue color. In addition, there are 5 European cut diamonds tube set in platinum.
This vintage sautoir in good condition, weighs 74.3 grams, and has a total length of 22.5 inches. The diamond antique clasp works well.
This is an unusual necklace both with both a modernist as well as a early to mid twentieth century appearance. See the provided photograph of a similar piece from the early 1930's. Victor Arwas ART DECO, Harry N. Abrams, Inc., 1980, p. 125. And, while our necklace has an appearance of pieces done as early as the 1930's, it bears no hallmarks or country of origin marks.
All of the metals have been acid tested to confirm both the gold content, 18K, as well as the use of platinum, 950.
What is especially appealing about this necklace is its playful presentation of white on white forms somewhat interspersed with black accents.
Please note our model is a medium to large size.
