In good condition. Diamonds are approximately G-J color and VS-I clarity. Very flexible and lies nicely on the neck. The clasp at the back is quite small and tight, therefore one of the clasps at the sides might be easier to maneuver. The fitted box may not be original to the piece. The central section detaches for wear as a bracelet.
In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above. Since we are not professional conservators or restorers, we urge you to consult with a restorer or conservator of your choice who will be better able to provide a detailed, professional report. Prospective buyers should inspect each lot to satisfy themselves as to condition and must understand that any statement made by Sotheby's is merely a subjective qualified opinion. Illustrations in the catalogue may not be actual size. Prospective purchasers are reminded that, unless the catalogue description specifically states that a stone is natural, we have assumed that some form of treatment may have been used and that such treatment may not be permanent. Our presale estimates reflect this assumption.
NOTWITHSTANDING THIS REPORT OR ANY DISCUSSIONS CONCERNING CONDITION OF A LOT, ALL LOTS ARE OFFERED AND SOLD "AS IS" IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONDITIONS OF SALE PRINTED IN THE CATALOGUE.

The laurel leaf style necklace, inspired by the wreaths worn as symbols of victory in Ancient Greece and Rome, was highly fashionable in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. The most well-known examples were executed by Boucheron, appearing in a variety of configurations: as single or double strands, highlighted by pearls or colored stones, and occasionally supporting pendants. The present necklace may be worn as either a necklace or a bracelet and is of very similar construction to those made by the great French firm.
