Retro Cartier Brilliant Cut Diamond and Textured Gold Collar Necklace in 18ct Yellow Gold and Platinum

A superbly crafted 18ct yellow gold and diamond textured gold collar necklace by the House of Cartier from the Retro period (1950s). Fully signed and numbered, this necklace displays the very highest levels of craftsmanship. Inspired by haute couture ribbon work this piece is composed of expertly textured gold shaped into heart forms. Sparkling brilliant cut diamonds punctuate the design, coming to life when gracing the neck. The name of 'Cartier' instantly brings-to-mind the sparkle of diamonds and the allure of the rich and famous. Since it was founded in Paris in 1847, the House has gone from strength to strength, being famously credited as “the jeweller of kings and the king of jewellers” by King Edward VII. The House was at its zenith when it was owned and run by the founding family, from 1847 to 1964. This collectible collar necklace is immensely wearable today, and can be seen as the perfect embodiment of bold gold glamour and style. The Pragnell family are proud to offer a spectacular selection of exquisite, signed pieces from the House, ranging from the Art Deco to the Retro periods.
