At the beginning of the 1970s, particularly expressive arrangements with jagged, expressive lines were popular in jewelry design. Diamonds were as popular as ever, but they were increasingly combined with colored stones, in this case midnight blue sapphires, to create cool, sparkling compositions. This necklace reflects this optimistic zeitgeist and features an elegant gemstone cluster at its center. The stones appear almost randomly scattered, yet they are carefully arranged and coordinated. Nine sapphires weighing a total of around 1.48 carats and twenty-eight white diamonds with a total weight of 1.96 carats complement each other in their brilliance. The sapphires are designed in an elongated navette cut, giving them the radiant appearance that many pieces of jewelry from this period display. A sapphire drop is suspended from the arrangement so that it can move. The gemstones are held by prongs typical of the period, the ends of which are rounded like balls and add further sparkling highlights to the necklace. The interplay of high-quality gemstones and cool white gold creates a piece of jewelry that exemplifies the design language of the era. Similar pieces of jewelry can also be found in David Bennet and Daniela Mascetti: Understanding Jewellery, Woodbridge 2010, on page 414.
