This beautiful vintage necklace is simple and straightforward - and presents a brilliant-cut diamond solitaire of first-class quality. The white gold chain in a Venetian pattern holds a classic six-prong setting. A large brilliant-cut diamond is set in it, which is presented in the color "Top Wesselton" (fine white, G) and clarity VVS1. The stone has a weight of 1.01 ct and is therefore a classic one-carat stone. Thanks to an additional eyelet, the necklace can be worn in two lengths, namely as a 39 cm and a 42 cm necklace. This allows it to be adapted to different dresses and wearing situations. The pendant can be attached to the necklace, but is firmly attached to the necklace so that it cannot be lost. We found the first-class diamond in its simple setting here in Berlin.

The term "Top Wesselton" was introduced in reference to a diamond mine called Wesselton, where a particularly large number of fine white diamonds were found. The mine itself was named after J. J. Wessels Senior, the owner of Benaaudheidfonein Farm, where the Wesselton Mine originated in 1890 as a result of diamond discoveries. The mine, which was active until 2005, was located in South Africa, near the border between the Cape Colony and the Orange River Colony. In 1891, the mine was taken over by the De Beers diamond group. The diamonds from the Wesselton Mine are characterized by their exceptionally good quality and the fact that they are largely free of inclusions. As in the case of the Top Wesselton, the other names such as River are derived from the places of origin of the diamonds so named. River-quality gemstones were predominantly found in alluvial deposits, i.e. in rivers
