This Art Deco harlequin necklace with an authentic Victorian Harlequin pendant, rose-cut diamonds, turquoise beads, Baroque freshwater pearls and solid 24k gold beads weighs 22.7g and measures 18 inches long. The figurine pendant measuring 3.5cm long depicts the impeccably crafted miniature sculpture of Harlequin, the most popular of the comic servant characters from the Italian Commedia dell Arte, whose name derives from Dante's 'Inferno', although other theories suggest that it may have emerged from France, Africa or Italy. The artfully textured body of this historic character corresponds to the historians’ description of his traditional red and black lozenge-styled attire, the facial mask covering his eyes and the Napoleonic style hat. The latter is adorned with a deep-set blue sapphire embraced by two rose-cut diamonds, while Harlequin's belt twinkles with four rose-cut diamonds, a ruby and an emerald. This authentic Victorian figurine suspends 'en tremblant' from the center of the supporting Art Deco style necklace by means of a delicate ringlet, flanked by 24k solid gold beads measuring 5.5mm in diameter. The color-enriched Art Deco style harlequin necklace is composed of silk-strung round and pear faceted turquoise gems measuring 10mm, 5mm and 2mm in diameter and 9mm long and 6mm wide respectively, graded 'pale and medium turquoise' color. The pear-faceted turquoise gems are spaced by color contrasting gold beads measuring 3.5mm in diameter complemented by iridescent Baroque freshwater pearls with an average diameter of 4mm, graded 'pinkish-white' color. This exquisite Deco style necklace with Victorian Harlequin pendant and delightful aesthetic is secured with a 14k yellow gold marquise shaped clasp.
