Vintage 68.50ct Citrine and Pearl, 9ct Yellow Gold Necklace (1957)

1940 - 1960
For Sale by AC Silver
Description

An exceptional, fine and impressive large vintage 68.50 carat citrine and pearl, 9 carat yellow gold necklace; an addition to our diverse collection of vintage necklaces.

This exceptional, fine and impressive vintage necklace has been crafted in 9ct yellow gold.

This necklace displays a stunning and large feature claw set oval faceted cut citrine, encompassed with a concave fluted border incorporating eleven impressive pearls.

The substantial gold necklace creates a cross over tassel design and composed with a multitude of links composing a ribbed paralleling design.

Each tassel terminates with a linear array of five individually claw set round faceted cut citrines, completing the design.

The tactile, textured gold necklace secures to the reverse with a hallmarked push fit clasp, and benefits from the added security of a hinged catch.

This large citrine necklace is hallmarked to the reverse of the clasp with the maker's mark, the 9ct gold mark (9, .375), the London Assay Office mark (leopard's head) and the date letter for 1957 (b); the tongue also bears the corresponding 9ct gold mark (9, .375).

This impressive vintage gold necklace with citrines is supplied with an IDGL gemstone grading report card.

Images do not always reflect the true colour and brilliance of gemstones and diamonds. The video however provides a truer representation of the actual colour and showcases each stone.

Condition

This vintage necklace is excellent quality, set with fine and impressive citrines displaying fine colour, brilliance and presence.

The impressive pearls display fine lustre and presence.

The necklace is a superior gauge of gold and is in excellent condition, with very clear hallmarks to the reverse of the clasp.

Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this stunning and large citrine necklace in gold.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Mid-century jewellery from the 1950s often features bold, sculptural forms crafted in yellow gold, frequently incorporating mesh, brick-link, or woven textures. Large central gemstones such as citrines or aquamarines were commonly paired with seed pearls or small accent stones to create prominent cocktail pieces.

Jewellers during this period primarily used 9ct or 18ct yellow gold formed into articulated links or ribbons. Central stones were typically large faceted citrines supported by cultured pearls and smaller round-cut accent gems.

Authentic British pieces bear official assay office hallmarks indicating the gold purity standard, such as 375 for 9ct gold, along with date letter codes and makers marks. Construction details like heavy brick-link chains and floral cluster settings are also typical of post-war craftsmanship.

Statement vintage necklaces can be worn as focal accessories paired with minimalist evening wear or low-neckline attire to accentuate the detail of the metalwork and central gemstone.

Clean the piece gently using a soft, dry cloth and avoid submerging pearls in water or exposing them to harsh chemicals, perfumes, and cosmetics. Store the necklace flat in a lined jewellery box to prevent scratching the gold links or damaging organic pearls.
