Est. $5,500-$6,000 Carrera y Carrera Solid 18K Yellow Gold & VVS Diamond Cherub Necklace (Retired Piece) - This stunning necklace was finely crafted by Carrera y Carrera, of solid 18k yellow gold. The necklace measures approx. 18" long, and is finished with a suspended, 1.5" pair of cherubs which hold a 0.15ct (approximate) genuine VVS1-VVS2/F-G round-cut diamond solitaire. The cherubs have a matte finish with polished accents, and the necklace is finished with a luxurious anchor link chain. The designer's use of both matte and polished finishes truly shows the spectacular craftsmanship that is synonymous with this fine luxury brand. The necklace is signed with the Carrera y Carrera hallmark, gold purity and unique serial number. Carrera y Carrera is an icon of gold craftsmanship and jewelry artisanship, and creates each piece in its workshops as if it were a small work of art. Each piece is meticulously crafted in a series of labor intensive steps as if creating a sculpture, using the lost wax casting method. The piece finished by master jewelers who painstakingly choose the gems and set them into the piece. The final touch, and Carrera y Carrera's trademark, is the matte-gloss finish, which allows a greater appreciation of the details of these small sculptures. Carrera y Carrera has a long history of celebrity clientele, including Jennifer Lopez, Madonna, Olivia Wilde, and many others. This piece is in excellent condition, and looks as though it has hardly been worn. This is a rare, retired piece which is no longer in production. (WEIGHT: 14.2 grams)
