Gold and diamond demi-parure, Van Cleef and Arpels.

The fashion of the 80's gets kind of a bad rap from history. But it definitely wasn't all bad.




This gorgeous gold and diamond demi-parure was made by Van Cleef and Arpels in 1985. It comprises a necklace of lattice design, set with pear-shaped and brilliant-cut diamonds. Isn't it fabulous? I love the color contrast of the gold and the diamonds. Wait until you see the design of the necklace:

Isn't it fabulous? I love the effect created by the lattice behind the graduated stones; it looks like an explosion.
