301.10 Ct. Lapis and Natural Diamond Antique Style Necklace, 14K White Gold

This necklace presents a thoughtfully composed combination of natural materials set entirely in 14K white gold, highlighted by 33 blue bead shaped polished cut lapis, totaling 301.10 carats, and accented by 96 white round brilliant cut natural diamonds, totaling 0.55 carats. The lapis, described in the listing as bead shaped and polished to a smooth finish, offers a tactile and visual continuity that anchors the design. Color intensity for the lapis is not available, and prospective buyers seeking provenance or specific color grading are encouraged to request details, since lapis quality can vary by source with historic supply coming from regions such as Afghanistan, Chile, and Russia. The sheer aggregate carat weight of the lapis is unusual, delivering a bold blue field that is ideal for a buyer who appreciates significant natural material rather than simulated or dyed substitutes.

The 96 white round brilliant cut diamonds function as precise scintillating accents, with a combined weight of 0.55 carats. Each diamond is graded VS2 Very Slightly Included for clarity, which means inclusions are minor and typically not visible to the naked eye, preserving strong light return and sparkle. The diamonds are described as colorless, which positions them at the higher end of the color scale for melee stones, contributing to a bright, clean contrast against the deep lapis blue. Color saturation for the diamonds is not available. Setting these diamonds in 14K white gold provides a durable and enduring framework, with a cool metallic tone that enhances the perceived whiteness of the diamonds while providing sufficient strength for everyday wear.

What defines the piece for an educated buyer is the careful equilibrium between the pendant focal point and the surrounding chain, resulting in a harmonious design that reads as both elegant and wearable. The design balances a strong central visual mass from the polished lapis beads with the fine, reflective presence of the diamond accents and the restrained sheen of 14K white gold, assuring comfortable weight distribution and proportional scale. Craftsmanship decisions such as bead finish, diamond placement, and metal choice are aimed at preserving natural material integrity while maximizing aesthetic cohesion.
