One of a kind magnificent Edwardian platinum lace diamond pearl pendant necklace. There is antique jewelry and there is antique jewelry but this is one of the nicest pieces of craftsmanship we have seen so far. A beautiful pendant made (sawn) out of one piece of platinum and set with no less then 124 diamonds in various cuts and 60 real pearls, real natural orient pearls that is. The refinement of this piece, both front and back, is a joy for the eye. A fully diamond set closure makes it complete.
