Description

The flexible necklace composed of circular gold links, set at the front with numerous round diamonds weighing approximately 4.20 carats, gross weight approximately 71 dwts, internal circumference 13¾ inches, signed Sterlé Paris, numbered 2220, with French assay marks.
Condition
In good condition with some light surface wear commensurate with age. The 69 round diamonds are G-H color, predominantly VS clarity, adding a nice decorative quality. The necklace bears a nice heft and the "bib" section is articulated, thereby nicely flexible. The woven chain to which the "bib" section is attached is also somewhat flexible, but not entirely.
