Specialist note

The eight large diamonds set in this impressive necklace each have an estimated weight of 10.00 to 15.00 carats. The modified brilliant-cut of these diamonds reflect the advancement of gem faceting in India. Additionally, the openwork setting and symmetrical nature of the necklace's design is the direct result of Western influence.
