Oval Cut 17.29ct Diamond Line Necklace in 18ct White Gold

Ninety-one exceptional oval cut diamonds (17.29ct), have been meticulously matched to create this striking line necklace. Each stone is expertly claw set in lustrous 18ct white gold, allowing the graceful curves of the oval cut to maximise light return and create a beautifully fluid display of brilliance. The result is a timeless design that balances classic elegance with exceptional sparkle. 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.
