This rare and ravishing belle epoque sautoir necklace dates back to the first decade of the twentieth century. A 28-inch long and lithe necklace, composed of woven natural saltwater pearls (with a GIA report), is enhanced on each side with 2-inch-long glittering diamond-set pearl-centered stations that match the star of the show--a magnificent round pendant (2-inch diameter) masterfully hand fabricated in platinum and encircling a ruby-tipped sparkling eight-ray diamond-set star. The delicate doily-like openwork design of the disc artfully represents the romance, refinement and femininity that distinguishes the finest jewels of La Belle Époque.
