I advise you to scroll immediately to the second image, so that you can understand the particularity and uniqueness of this ancient and wonderful piece.
What I propose tonight is a 2 in 1 jewel, transformable and convertible: with this jewel in our hands we will have both a collier (/ chocker - this according to the wearer's neck) and a bracelet.
Starting from the jewel in its entirety, this piece dates back to the Liberty period (or Art Nouveau), and more precisely to the 10s of the twentieth century; the central decoration is common in the two jewels, and therefore we find it both in the necklace and in the bracelet, and it is the most beautiful and incredible part of this jewel: we have an openwork processing that runs along its entire length, and which creates harmonious and geometric designs; in the center we find a rosette-cut diamond, surrounded by an onyx disc; other rosette-cut diamonds are scattered over various points of the central decoration.
The necklace is connected to the central part, made up of various rectangular links; and it is precisely in this part that we find the mechanism that allows us to transform the necklace into a bracelet: there are in fact two closures that allow you to detach part of the necklace and leave us with a smaller section, which thus becomes our bracelet.
A particular element is the fact that the entire internal part of the jewel is made of 18K gold, while the external one is in silver (as can be seen from the clear distinctions of colors between the internal and external contours).
