Marked "LVER" "750" and Italian hallmarks for Alessandria, Italy | 14" wearable length
Item # C104242
Such a classic form, this brilliant necklace body features the broad "Tubogas" technology for the links, creating an incredibly slinky texture that flexes and conforms perfectly with your skin for comfortable wear. The design comes together in a bold pendant surrounded by white gold V's framing hearts tied together with a band of white gold; the white gold elements are set with 78 round brilliant-cut diamonds, each being roughly 1.8-2mm in diameter. It securely locks in the back with a pressure-tongue clasp with the top button concealed in the last ridge of the Tubogas. The quality of craftsmanship in this piece rivals the finest goldsmiths with crisp finishing and careful design shown in every element.
