Enamel and Diamond Bow Necklace with Pearls and a Large Sapphire Drop 1660-1900 Western Europe The Victoria & Albert Museum |
The floral pieces, as well as the necklace as a whole, insist on maintaining an organic feel. Therefore, the sapphire drop mimics the natural shape of the Baroque pearls and the diamonds—even the later additions—are table-cut so as to rely on their own inherent sparkle as opposed to overworked faceting.
