Estate Diamond Necklaces
The Ultimate Expression of Luxury
A diamond necklace has been the ultimate expression of luxury for centuries. Queens have treasured them, and the nobility have revered them. They have been fought over, stolen and killed for.
Movie star Elizabeth Taylor adored diamonds, and husband Richard Burton acquiesced to her tastes. During her lifetime, she owned many extraordinary diamond pieces. She bid at auction on the 68-carat pear-cut diamond for over $1 million and subsequently wore it in a diamond pendant necklace to the 42nd Academy Awards. Its value has skyrocketed since then.
The Heart of the Ocean, the heart-shaped blue diamond pendant surrounded by white diamonds worn by Kate Winslet in the movie “Titanic” and produced by Harry Winston, is worth $20 million. The “Incomparable” diamond necklace, considered the biggest internally flawless diamond in the world, features a brownish yellow 407.48 diamond with 91 additional diamonds. Its price tag? A cool $55 million.
But wait, there is one that is even more expensive. It is called “A Heritage in Bloom” and it is estimated to be worth a jaw-dropping $200 million! Chinese jeweler Wallace Chang designed this extraordinary necklace which has a total carat weight of 383.4 carats, including a colorless diamond that alone is worth $35 million.
Why do people buy Estate Jewelry?
If you have ever dreamed of owning a diamond necklace but assumed you couldn’t afford one – think again. You don’t need millions of dollars to own one yourself, because an estate diamond necklace is the reachable way to go. The term “estate” means that the jewelry was previously owned or purchased for re-sale. It may well have been part of someone’s estate, but not necessarily so. Estate jewelry is often antique, meaning over 100 years old, or vintage, meaning that it is less than 100 years old and includes pieces from different decades and eras. Estate jewelry can be antique, vintage or even retro, as long is it was pre-owned.
Estate jewelry offers the opportunity to buy beautiful pieces at advantageous prices, many with lasting investment potential. You dream diamond necklace may be well within your grasp.
