This estate ruby necklace resplendent in 20.34cts of rubies and exactly 6.00cts of diamonds is crafted in lavish platinum, weighs exactly 72g and measures 17.75 inches long, 7mm wide and 4mm deep. Extravagant and sophisticated in aesthetic, this breathtaking estate ruby and diamond necklace is inspired by a late version of the classic rivière necklaces referred to as a 'line necklace' introduced in France during the Belle Époque era and in vogue throughout the 20th century Europe. Line necklaces were composed of adjacent diamonds or colored gemstones, primarily emeralds and rubies, of graduating or equal sizes, predominantly mounted with round or ovular stones in the early 1900's but assuming a continuing trend of geometric designs from the mid-1920's. This eye-catching estate ruby and diamond line necklace of geometrical inspiration is enveloped in 12.34cts of prong-set emerald-cut rubies measuring 6mm long and 4mm wide, graded 'lively deep-fuchsia' color and 'good' clarity. These vivacious stones are complemented by 6.00cts of baguette diamonds graded H color and VS2 clarity average, mounted alternately in duos within platinum tracks, creating a captivating color contrasted design, exposed atop delicate, diaphanous galleries. A well concealed tongue-and-groove clasp secures this estate ruby and diamond line necklace of unmistakable classic elegance and feminine grace.
