Barry Kieselstein Cord founded his eponymous company in 1972 in the heart of Manhattan. The brand immediately became iconic, adored for its incredibly creative and distinctive jewelry, belt buckles and leather goods.
This unique and very substantial piece includes a wonderfully hefty, large scale link necklace. The oval links alternate in size with the larger measuring approximately 0.75 inches in length and the smaller 0.50 inches in length. Both are accented around the edges with a simple oval groove.
The necklace attaches to the important pendant that could only have been imagined by Kieselstein Cord. It centers on a clean golden-yellow citrine weighing approximately ten carats. The stone is step-cut and bezel-set with a prominent diamond surround. Thirteen round diamond encrusted spheres extend from the main part of the pendant giving it a very three dimensional appearance and magnifying its noteworthiness.
The earrings are mini-replicas of the citrine pendant that is sold with them. Here citrines match the golden-yellow of the pendant, are bezel set and step-cut. Together they weigh approximately four carats. Each is surrounded by diamonds. Fourteen diamond spheres extend from the central pendant once again, magnifying the size and interest of the piece.
