French Art Deco Diamond Necklace

A striking Art Deco-era diamond necklace, crafted in solid 18K white gold and stamped with the French eagle’s head hallmark. Dating to the 1930s, this piece embodies the clean geometry and precision characteristic of the Art Deco movement.

The pendant features a graduated drop of three bezel-set diamonds, articulated for movement. At the base sits a bright 1-carat cushion-cut diamond. Above it, two Old European-cut diamonds weigh 0.4 carats each, bringing the total diamond weight to approximately 1.8 carats. The stones exhibit very good clarity with prominent open culets, enhancing their brilliance.

Suspended from an 18K white gold chain, the necklace measures 50cm (19.5”) and has a substantial weight of 11.43 grams.

A refined example of 1930s French jewellery, in superb condition despite its significant age.
