This one-of-a-kind bespoke choker necklace from 1960 originates from the esteemed Chaumet atelier in Paris, created in an Art Deco inspired style. The piece consists of eight plaited rows of cream seed pearls secured by a bold 34 mm yellow gold clasp, stamped with the mark 750. The central oval feature comprises a carved black onyx cameo of a horse's head with a flowing mane, surrounded by a glittering halo of 36 brilliant-cut diamonds. The yellow gold mount incorporates ribbed shoulders flanking the central medallion. Designed for formal wear or as a statement addition to a collector's fine jewellery wardrobe, the necklace rests closely around the neck. The visible elements display smooth cream pearls, dark reflective black onyx, polished yellow gold, and sparkling diamond accents.

FAQs

A multi-strand pearl choker is a fitted necklace crafted from multiple parallel rows of pearls, typically gathered by a central jewelled motif or decorative clasp that sits close to the neck.

High-grade cultured or natural pearls are combined with precious metals such as yellow or white gold, while cameos are hand-carved from hardstones like onyx or agate and accented with brilliant-cut diamonds.

Authentic pieces from heritage jewellers feature precise makers marks, metal purity hallmarks, serial numbers, and exceptionally uniform gem setting and stone carving details.

A multi-strand pearl choker with a central motif functions as a statement piece when paired with open necklines, strapless evening gowns, or tailored modern tailoring.

Pearls require wiping with a soft cloth after wear and isolation from perfumes or chemicals, whereas hardstone cameos can be gently cleaned using a soft brush and mild soapy water.
