Hancocks London is taking us straight back to the roaring ’20s with its March “Jewel of the Month” spotlight: an ultra-rare, Art Deco sautoir-style necklace by legendary San Francisco jeweler Marsh & Co., circa 1925. And it’s dripping in vintage glamour. ✨
🐚 What Makes It Iconic?
This masterpiece features:
Four rows of perfectly matched natural pearls
- Platinum & diamond dividers for that classic deco geometry
A 1.1 ct. oval diamond centerpiece in diamond-set platinum openwork
A flowing tassel pendant made of natural pearls + a diamond-topped platinum cap
A secret flex: the tongue-and-box clasp hides an old mine cushion-cut diamond
It’s detail on detail on detail—exactly what the Jazz Age was all about. 🎺💫
🧵 “A Testament to Deco Design”
