Platinum, Diamond and Seed Pearl Necklace, J.E. Caldwell

The front decorated with delicate garland-style motifs set with numerous old European-cut diamonds weighing approximately 2.00 carats, suspended by seed pearls, length 22½ inches, signed J.E.C. & Co.; circa 1915.

In good condition. The seed pearls are off-round, silvery white with very soft green and rose overtones. The diamonds are near colorless and approximately VS-SI clarity. The signature on the clasp partially rubbed and the central circular motif most likely originally designed to suspended a pendant.
