Emerald Cut 19.22ct Diamond Line Necklace in 18ct White Gold

Ninety-eight exceptional emerald cut diamonds (19.22ct) have been meticulously matched to create this striking line necklace. Each stone is expertly claw set in lustrous 18ct white gold, allowing the elegant step-cut facets to showcase their remarkable clarity and hall-of-mirrors effect. The result is a timeless design that celebrates the clean geometry and refined sophistication of the emerald cut. Historically known as a rivière, or 'river of diamonds', this iconic style emerged in the 18th century and quickly became a symbol of elegance, wealth and impeccable taste. Favoured by royalty and society's most discerning collectors, the rivière has remained one of the most enduring expressions of fine jewellery. Queen Mary (1867–1953), renowned for her extraordinary collection, was often photographed wearing multiple diamond rivière necklaces layered together, a look that influenced generations of royal jewellery and helped shape the magnificent collection later inherited by Queen Elizabeth II. Elegant worn alone and equally captivating layered with other diamond necklaces, this exquisite rivière is a timeless heirloom designed to be treasured for generations.
