Contemporary Diamond Pave Chain Link Necklace Earrings Demi Parure Suite

With so many intricate variations on an elegant, repeated form, this Contemporary Diamond Pavé Chain Link Necklace Earrings Demi Parure Suite, made in the 21st century, delights the eye with sparkle and three-tone gold. The Demi Parure Suite is comprised of two distinct yet stylistically related pieces—a collar necklace and a pair of drop earrings—superbly crafted in 18K yellow, white, and rose gold and set with a combination of round brilliant-cut diamonds and diamond pavé that weigh an estimated total of 25.00 carats. Using the classic interlocking link motif as a point of departure, these unique ovals each have their moment in the spotlight as they cascade dramatically with mirror image symmetry to frame the face in the earrings and flow around the neck like an eternity design.

The collar necklace comprises 26 links—8 in yellow, 8 in white, and 10 in rose gold. The moment a pattern or repetition is established in this seemingly minimalist design, it is playfully varied. This includes the sequence of the gold colors, link shapes and orientations, and diamond setting methods. The piece is more lavish than simple, with ten different link styles, which we learn while examining the fine details. The focal link at the center front and two-piece closure at the back are crafted in rose gold. In front, there is a symmetrical mirror image progression of yellow, rose, white, rose, yellow (etc.) fanning out from the front, with each unique form following suit. In the back, however, the progression of colors and shapes is lightly shuffled, adding even richer variation. In the front portion, the five principal rose gold links are adorned with diamond pavé, where uniformly sized sparkling stones accentuate the twists and curves of the plump bombé oval forms. Just two links out from the focal point, the shape and linking method are immediately varied as soon as they are established, with a pointed oval rose gold variation stepping in to connect to asymmetric double links. These asymmetric double links are a throughline motif, inset with diamonds of various sizes. This link style is replicated in yellow and white gold and is even carried through to the earrings. In the necklace, the double links transition to single links towards the closure but carry forth the same playful pattern of diamonds.

The sparkling and lovely drop earrings, designed for pierced ears, outfitted with posts and cleverly designed hinged backs, borrow forms established in the collar necklace and add new flourishes. The earrings comprise three tri-color links cascading from the top in white, yellow, and rose gold. While the yellow and rose gold links are well established in the necklace, the white gold pavé link at the top is novel—sparkling, shapely, and curving like a question mark that disappears behind the earlobe. Three golds lay the groundwork for rich variation in this demi-parure suite. It is a splendid piece of craftsmanship and artistry with a complexity that can be enjoyed for years to come.
