A diamond-set longchain, circa 1970

The openwork oval textured plaques decorated on both sides with gold thread motifs, alternating with polished curb links, each set on one side with trios of single-cut diamonds, French marks, length 74.6cm

Footnotes

This necklace may be attributed to the workshop of Georges L'Enfant, the Parisian master jeweller who manufacted for top 20th century jewellers including Cartier, Mellerio, Sandoz, Van Cleef & Arpels, Boivin, Bulgari and Hermes. In the 1960s and 70s the L'Enfant workshop became known for their extraordinary repertoire of gold chains, each painstakingly decorated in a variety of patterns and textures.
