Description

"The Art Deco style of Barbara Hutton's emerald bead necklace's ruby clasp is very obvious, with a simple geometric shape set with bright rubies and square diamonds. The color scheme is also a bold typical Chinese color scheme - red and green. The bright red and emerald green form a strong contrast, which can highlight the elegant and unobtrusive charm of jade while retaining the precious gemstone." The 27 jade beads on the necklace, believed to come from the late Qing court, have a prominent source and are magnificent and extraordinary. The necklace itself has been passed down in the upper echelons of Western society and is known as the most precious jade jewelry in auction history. The 27 "Old Pit" jade beads on the necklace match perfectly, with a green and soft luster, ranging in diameter from 19.20 millimeters to 15.40 millimeters. Each one is huge and has an unparalleled weight, exuding an imperial aura, making it a rare treasure in the world; The addition of Cartier's ruby diamond studded chain buckle fully reflects the extraordinary identity and demeanor of its owner for over a century. “
