Est. $390,000-$395,000 48.00ctw Genuine VS1-VS2/Fancy Yellow Emerald-Cut Diamond & Solid 18K Yellow Gold Graduated Necklace (Comes W/$390,000 Appraisal) - This stunning piece is made of solid 18K yellow gold, and has approximately 48.00ctw genuine VS1-VS2 Natural Fancy Yellow, Emerald-Cut diamonds. The diamonds range in size from 1.05ct-0.30ct each, and are all stunning and matching quality. This piece came from an important Russian Aristocratic Estate, and was a custom made piece that has never been worn. The piece is in flawless, mint condition. Similar to other fancy colors, Fancy Yellow diamonds (also referred to as Canary Diamonds) acquire their color due to the presence of trace elements in their atomic structure. In the case of yellow diamonds, this element is nitrogen, which when bonded to the carbon atoms that make up all diamonds, presents a vibrant yellow color. The more nitrogen is present, the more saturated with yellow color the diamond will be. The amount of color saturation is measured on the intensity scale, and each one of these diamonds is VERY intense, making it the highest investment quality. Intense fancy yellow diamonds such as these sell for hundreds of thousand of dollars per 5 carats. This necklace would cost over $380,000 in material cost (wholesale only) to create again, that would not even cover the cost of the jeweler's work. This piece was made for a family of nobility, and was created during a time when the best yellow diamonds where discovered. This truly is a museum quality piece, and you will never see another piece like this. Measures: 18" in length x 7mm (widest point) & 4.5mm (narrowest point). Weighs: 52.8 Grams. Please note: This item will come with a $390,000 appraisal for insurance purposes. We can also facilitate safe, and insured shipping at the buyer's expense.
