Sophisticated Art Deco artistry conspires with old world Burmese jade to create a dramatic and exotically beautiful sautoir necklace. A sizable and superbly carved double-sided pendent of variegated apple green hues is crowned with a platinum and diamond cap which, in turn suspends from a stylized bow motif centering on a pair of French-cut diamonds held by two rows of sparkling collet-set diamonds leading to a pair of carved discs or 'bis''. A bright strand of jadeite beads, secured by a platinum and diamond clasp bring the length of this magnificent, one-of-a-kind necklace to 21 inches, plus the 2 inch pendant. 3.00 total diamond weight. The necklace is accompanied by a gemological report from Stone Group Labs stating: Natural, no indications of polymers or dyes, Burma origin, 70 jade beads, 3.7-6.6, doughnuts are 1 1/2 inch round, pendant is 2 inch x 1 1/4 x 7/16 inch.
