A vibrant expression of 1970s glamour, this striking long necklace by VAN CLEEF & ARPELS pairs luminous green chalcedony with softly blushed coral, each bead accented by diamond-set details that introduce refined brilliance throughout. The intertwined rope twist and curb link chain in rich 18k yellow gold creates a supple yet substantial foundation, culminating in a dramatic 4½-inch tassel crowned by a coral dome and diamond-set bands. Cascading strands of chalcedony, punctuated by diamond rondelles and coral terminals, lend graceful movement and bold presence.

Bearing the French export mark for Georges Lenfant, this piece reflects the work of one of Paris’ most esteemed 20th-century chain ateliers. Lenfant was renowned for producing exquisitely articulated, hand-fabricated gold chains for the leading Maisons of Place Vendôme, including Van Cleef & Arpels. His signature lies in the fluidity, strength, and textural sophistication of the goldwork — qualities beautifully demonstrated in the complex rope twist and curb link construction seen here.

Circa 1970s, and set with an estimated 8.85 carats of diamonds, the necklace measures approximately 32 inches in length.

Signed VCA, this is a bold and collectible example of French high jewelry craftsmanship at its most expressive.
