This stunning aquamarine, natural seed pearl, diamond, and platinum fringe necklace is from the elegant Edwardian period, circa 1910. During this era, woman's clothing was beginning to be less structured and the jewelry reflected this change, hence the fringe necklace. This necklace was hand-assembled by Edwardian era jewelers.
It features twenty-four (24) spectacle/bezel set round brilliant cut diamonds, eleven (11) pear-shaped briolette aquamarines, eighty-six (86) round seed pearls, and a high polish finish 950 platinum chain.

The other twelve diamonds are smaller and measure 1.60–1.50 x 0.93 (depth estimate) mm. Their approximate weight is 0.16 carats, the clarity of the stones is SI-1 to I-1, and the color is J-K.
