ABOUT:
Oh how I wish these were my letters!
Antique choker necklace with fabulous, ornate cursive slide pendant that is encrusted with 26 old mine single cut diamonds.
This choker necklace has the slide set onto black ribbon with a section of chain at the back, a dog clip and a spring ring. The pendant and chains, brackets, clasps are in 14k gold, with the monogram topped in platinum as was customary for the period to set diamonds in a white metal. It looks so rad when worn, a bold statement with a sparkly antique monogram.
To me, the letters look like L S L? If you flip it upside down it also looks like letters, possibly SLS, TLT, etc?
Really a fun one. No hallmarks that I could find, it tests at 14k and platinum.
Please note the measurements as I have small hands and it can be difficult to decipher scale from photos, especially with the zoomed images that I am required to present for detail.
MEASUREMENTS:
The initials slide is 32x12mm.
It is about 13 1/4 in length end to end, but somewhat adjustable in that there is a clasp on either side so you could clip one side into the chain links on the other side to shorten it. You could also add an extender or some additional chain links to the back quite easily. Another option would be to adjust the ribbon which is sewn on one side.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
Completely functional, the clasps work well. Certainly a one of a kind piece.
Please note that all my pieces are pre-owned and in estate condition. They will have patina, surface wear, a few small nicks. These pieces may also have evidence of a sizing, some build up around the stones and / or inclusions seen under magnification, typical for antique pieces. I have mentioned any noticeable issues above and they are all still wearable and eager to be loved and accepted for many years to come, (the preservation of antique jewelry, even those with signs of their age and history, is important to me. : )
But - Please note due to age, this piece is not in mint condition. Pictures also serve as part of the description and condition report so please utilize the zoom feature which will magnify any wear significantly more than what is visible to the eye while wearing : )

All items hand picked by me, one at a time from all over the world. All listings individually written by me, and not AI, after studying each piece to discuss its beauties and its ; ) eccentricities (which I am picky to point out).
