Amethyst Necklace. <br><br>Chain Length:39.4cm Wt:46.7g<br>This necklace is designed in the "Rivi??re" style, composed of sequentially graduated oval amethysts set in a continuous line to follow the contour of the neck, visually evoking a flowing ??river of gemstones??. This design highlights the opulence of the stones while conforming to the neckline through graduated sizing, balancing aesthetic beauty and wearable comfort. Executed with granulation technique and open?work bezel settings, the granular texture of granulation contrasts beautifully with the lightness of open?work chasing. It preserves the sumptuous quality of gold, and fine detailing prevents the jewel from appearing heavy?set.<br><br><strong>ALL PROPERTY IS SOLD AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH NO RETURNS, REFUNDS, OR CANCELLATIONS.</strong><br><br> <strong>Condition and Authenticity:</strong><br><br> Any statement in the catalogue, condition report, photographs, video, invoice, or other written or oral communication regarding the origin, date, age, attribution, authorship, authenticity, provenance, material, condition, or estimated selling price of any lot is a statement of opinion only.
