Luxurious Vintage Two-Tone Gold and Diamond Necklace and Bracelet, c. 1970

Shiny gold jewelry in lavish designs was every woman's dream in the decades after the Second World War. Necklaces and bracelets made of yellow gold were worn as a status symbol, out of joy at regained prosperity and also as memories of vacations in the sunny south. All jewelers always carried a selection of necklaces and bracelets in a wide variety of designs. Knitted or woven, composed of eyelets or beads, there was no limit to the variety of shapes. This luxurious necklace with matching bracelet is one such piece and is of a particularly high-quality design. The polished links are made from high-carat gold and fit comfortably and softly around the wrist. Knotted like plaits, yellow gold links frame white gold links in the middle. Four small octagonal diamonds sparkle on each link. In total, the set contains 416 diamonds with a total weight of over two carats. They transform the set into a firework of white light reflections. As a special highlight, the necklace and bracelet can also be linked and worn together. We date this well-preserved piece of jewellery, which came to us here in Berlin, to around 1970.
