I recently learned a new term: BFD. It describes this necklace perfectly.
(BFDs = biig ****ing diamonds.)
I'm pretty sure you don't need me to tell you that this necklace is impressive. But in case you're not convinced, here's a closeup.
This baby, previously owned by an unnamed Lady of title, is described by Sotheby's as "highly important." The V-shaped necklace is set with baguette diamonds and decorated at the
front with a line of brilliant-cut stones.
The description doesn't give a total diamond weight, but to give you an idea: that pear-shaped drop alone is 41.40 carats. The pear-shaped drop is detachable, in case you want to carry it around in your pocket and feel good about yourself (or put it on a plainer chain for a less fancy red carpet event?).
This necklace was sold in Sotheby's May 2011 Magnificent Jewels sale. All images and info are thanks to Sotheby's.
Don't miss any of the fabulousness! Follow me:
