Harry Winston Three Row Diamond and 18kt Yellow Gold Choker

This elegant yet opulent Harry Winston Diamond 3-Row Riviere Necklace, created in the late 20th century, showcases a remarkable fusion of beauty and craftsmanship. Crafted in 18K yellow gold, this necklace features 282 round brilliant diamonds, each securely within bezel settings. These diamonds weigh an estimated 68 carats, displaying a scintillating range of E-F color and VVS clarity. The Harry Winston name is synonymous with diamonds of unparalleled quality, and this necklace exemplifies their commitment to presenting these precious gems in designs that enhance their natural splendor.

Unlike traditional Riviere necklaces with a single strand of diamonds, this ultra-modern rendition offers a captivating twist. Three strands of diamonds, progressing from the innermost to the outermost, create a nearly invisible, mesmerizing graduation. Each strand consists of 92 diamonds, starting with the smallest in the innermost strand and gradually growing in size until culminating with the most significant 92 diamonds in the outermost strand. What makes this design truly remarkable is the precise alignment of each diamond; they are perfectly lined up, not staggered. The inside diameter of the necklace is 16 inches, transitioning seamlessly to the outer 18-inch circumference. This meticulous design ensures a perfect fit, gracefully responding to your every movement.

This minimalist masterpiece comprises just two elements: perfectly round brilliant-cut diamonds and equally round gold bezel settings. The tiniest variations become significant in a piece of such exquisite artistry. The impeccable graduation in the gold bezel settings is readily apparent when viewed from the reverse side. The clasp is discreetly concealed beneath the flowing river of diamonds, with only a single bezel-set diamond in the middle strand slightly elevated. These open-back settings allow the diamonds to radiate their brilliance from all angles.

"Riviere" is French for "river," symbolizing the flowing arrangement of gems around the neck. Typically, a Riviere is relatively short, measuring around 14 inches. These necklaces date back to the 1700s and have evolved over the years. Historically, gemstones were set in individual collets, similar to the bezels in this necklace. Collets were also popularly used in the opulent diamond articulated bracelets of the Art Deco era, engineered to perfection and highly sought after in the 1920s. The machine-age aesthetics of this riviere necklace evoke the glamorous retro style of a century ago, a testament to the enduring craftsmanship of Harry Winston, an American house renowned for its expertise in all things diamond.

This necklace boasts approximate measurements of 16 inches inside diameter, 18 inches outside diameter, and a width of 0.5 inches. The total diamond weight is approximately 68 carats, with individual diamonds ranging from 0.15 to 0.35. Composed of 18k yellow gold with a high-polish finish, this masterpiece is signed by Harry Winston, representing the epitome of luxury and sophistication. Crafted in the 1990s, it is a timeless testament to the mastery of diamond jewelry.
