This Victorian rose-cut diamond necklace with pink and green tourmalines in antique style is crafted in 18k yellow gold, weighing 51.6g and measuring 16.5 inches long. Elaborately and lavishly detailed, this exquisite Victorian style rose-cut diamond necklace characterizes a most popular Neo-classical style appearing in France in late 18th century in a shorter version (referred to as 'esclavage') in vogue during early Victorian era. Such necklaces incorporated graduated openwork pendants of pronounced size optimal for Victorian décolleté attires, with antique diamonds as preferred precious stones par excellence. This extravagant Victorian style necklace resplendent in a whopping 555 pique rose-cut diamonds measuring between 1 and 5mm in diameter, graded 'light-brown'(N) color incorporates a duo of openwork 'en tremblant' pendants of graduated orbicular format, measuring 3.25 inches long and 5mm deep. The larger plaque is centered with a 2.56ct oval-faceted tourmaline measuring 9.45mm long and 7.23mm wide, graded 'vivid-fuchsia' color and 'fair' clarity, surrounded by 20 oval-faceted tourmalines, measuring 4mm long and 3mm wide, with a color spectrum encompassing 'olive', 'marigold' and 'fuchsia’ colors and 'good' clarity. The smaller medallion style component of the pendant is centered with a 0.53ct princess-cut green tourmaline measuring 4.5mm square, graded 'dusty-green' color and 'good' clarity, surrounded by pique rose-cut diamonds, the reverse engraved with '9.53' which we assume to be the total weight of rose-cut diamonds mounted in this Victorian style necklace. The integrated chain necklace exposes a central decor composed of diamond adorned openwork rectangular links, extended on both sides by yellow gold chains and rings allowing length adjustment, secured by a hook.
