Oscar Heyman Mid-Century Aquamarine Suite

$40,500
These Mid-century platinum, aquamarine and diamond earrings and necklace were created in 1955 by Oscar Heyman. The necklace is designed as a slightly tapering rivière of circular-cut aquamarines suspending a pear-shape aquamarine, highlighted throughout with diamond scroll motifs, with heart-shape aquamarine clip earrings ensuite. A confection of appealing sky blue gems accented by sparkling diamonds, these beautifully matched aquas form a classic suite that is both wearable and glamorous.
