Contemporary Diamond Cluster Eternity Collar Necklace

A diamond cluster necklace of a stylized foliate design is one of the more timeless luxury jewelry pieces with unsurpassable sparkle. This Contemporary Diamond Cluster Eternity Collar Necklace, made in the 21st century, is crafted in 18K white gold and features marquise, pear shape, and round brilliant-cut diamonds with an estimated total weight of 57.00 carats. The elegant and stark composition focuses on repeating the three diamond shapes in a pattern. Two marquise diamonds fan out like a pair of leaves with one round brilliant-cut set on the inner curve delightfully off center, and one pear-shape on the outer curve, pointing at an angle towards the grouping. The graduated group of four diamonds flows around the neck to create a geometric, sculptural look, adding a modern touch to a traditional floral motif. Like an eternity design, the repetition of the motif is seamless, uninterrupted even by the push clasp, which is designed as a harmonious part of the whole.

Each diamond is held as simply as possible with white gold prongs—2 per marquise, 3 per pear shape, and 4 per round, within articulated basket settings, open to the back to light to let light in behind the stones and amplify the sparkle. An all-diamond design like this one with minimal metal allows the dazzling effects of the gemstones to take center stage. The cluster setting is full of dimension and texture, crafted with exquisite attention to detail in every respect to achieve a symmetrical design such as this. The diamonds must match in color, depth, and sparkle across all 48 repeating motifs to create a never-ending flow effect. The graduation size of each of the four stones in the grouping must also be painstakingly precise to look effortless. Finally, the articulated settings must lay perfectly flat against the skin and remain so with your every movement. The way this collar necklace gently drapes over the collarbone is delicate, bordering on poetic, and demonstrates the particular savoir-faire of the maker.

The combination of marquise, pear shape, and round brilliant is classic in such a piece. The variation of conditions adds an asymmetry, as one would find in nature and an elegance to the overall design. All brilliant cuts with around 58 facets apiece, the marquise, pear shape, and brilliant round combination also deliver peak performance and the maximum sparkle, even more so when so well-cut to bring out the individual diamond splendor. Setting the diamonds in this manner allows the viewer to see only the fire, brilliance, and spectral color emanating from each diamond and colliding with one another to create an unbelievably dramatic effect.

Pear-shaped, marquise, and round diamond weight approx. 57.00 carats total; estimated G-H colors, VS clarity. Overall weight approx. 68.74 grams, made in 18k white gold. Circa 21st Century.
