Title: David Webb Necklace Sautoir Chain Oval Links 18k Gold Platinum Diamond Brooch

Description: About the Item
A spectacular David Webb gold necklace, designed as a long sautoir necklace, crafted in 18k yellow gold with platinum and diamond accents. At the center hangs a detachable Maltese cross pendant, made in gold and platinum. The pendant is set with pavé diamonds arranged in a squared center. This sculptural pendant is removable and can be worn separately as a Maltese cross brooch. The brooch fitting is discreetly integrated, keeping the clean lines of the pendant when worn on the necklace. The bold chain features ribbed oval links. An extension allows the necklace to be worn long or adjusted into a shorter length, offering different styling options. As a sautoir necklace, it works great being worn alone, while the shorter version highlights the bold David Webb aesthetic at the neckline. This David Webb piece features substantial gold links, diamond detailing, and a functional design. Together, these elements give the necklace a strong visual presence while remaining practical to wear. This vintage Webb necklace is made of 18 karat yellow gold, platinum and diamonds. The diamonds are round brilliant cut, F-G color, VVS2 clarity, total weight approximately 4.50 carats. The necklace measures 26" x 3/4" (67 x 2 centimeters) and weighs 278 grams (with the extension). The Maltese cross measures slightly over 2" x 2 1/4" (5.5 x 6 cm) and weighs 46.5 grams. The full Sautoir weighs 324.5 grams. The necklace and the brooch are stamped with David Webb maker's mark, hallmarks for 18 karat gold and platinum.
