The Exquisite Antique Diamond "Elise" Choker (Estimate: HK$ 4,000,000 – 6,000,000 / US$ 520,000 – 770,000) was worn by Angelina Jolie in the film The Tourist in 2010. Of openwork foliage scroll design, set with intertwining wreaths of diamond-set laurel leaves and accented by six oscillating old-cut diamonds, which was a superlative example of the Garland Style greatly prized during the early twentieth century, the necklace is gorgeous, elegant whilst of great magnificence. Mounted in platinum. Length approximately 38.5cm. To find a memorable piece for Angelina Jolie’s character Elise in The Tourist, the famous Jeweller Robert Procop searched far and wide across the globe and ultimately got this artwork.
