Five string pearl necklace with white gold closure with diamonds and emeralds

In this Estate necklace from 1950, five decreasing pearl strings unite at the 18K white gold openwork closure in which a pearl surrounded by eight single brilliant cut emeralds serves as the heart of eight loops encrusted with 64 single brilliant cut diamonds. While the curls centre a diamond and are divided by an emerald, this stunning jewel can make any wish of adornment come true.
