Description
A classic 1990s gold collar necklace by Van Cleef & Arpels, designed as a double row interwoven braid of gently tapering design, the front section with seven alternating sections embellished with round brilliant cut diamonds, all to a concealed tongue and box clasp. This is a great, easy to wear vintage gold necklace that sits around the base of the throat. It could be dressed up or down, worn day or night and alone or layered with other necklaces. The symmetrical braid-like pattern is very pleasing to the eye and the diamond details add a little discreet sparkle. A versatile and useful addition to any jewellery wardrobe.
