Cabochon cutting — the ancient art of shaping a gemstone into a smooth, domed surface rather than faceting it — predates the brilliant cut by centuries, and remains the preferred treatment for stones whose beauty lies in their depth of color rather than their light performance. Rubies, sapphires, emeralds, and turquoise have all been revered in cabochon form since antiquity, and a necklace that brings ten of these richly colored stones together in one composition is a rare and extraordinary thing. This estate piece does exactly that: ten multi-color precious stone cabochons, each vibrant and distinct, are set alongside approximately 2.00 carats of natural white diamonds in 74 grams of 18k yellow gold — a weight that speaks to the substantial, heirloom-quality construction of the piece. At 18 inches in length, it sits beautifully at the collarbone. Preowned, excellent condition — a true collector’s necklace.
