Carrera y Carrera Solid 18K Yellow Gold Danity Hands Necklace W/0.60ctw VVS1-VVS2/F-G Diamond Accents in Carrera y Carrera Gift Box (Retired Piece) - This stunning piece was finely crafted by Carrera y Carrera, of solid 18k yellow gold. The necklace measures approx. 18" long, and is finished with a suspended, 1.75" pair of "dainty hands". The hands are holding a 0.20ct (approximate) genuine VVS1-VVS2/F-G round-cut diamond solitaire, and are finished with 18k white gold ruffled sleeves which are embellished with approx. 0.40ctw genuine VVS1-VV2/F-H pave-set diamond accents. The hands have a matte finished with polished fingernails and sleeves, and the necklace is finished with a luxurious anchor link chain. The designer's use of both matte and polished finishes truly shows the spectacular craftsmanship that is synonymous with this fine luxury brand. The necklace is signed with the Carrera y Carrera hallmark, gold purity, maker's mark, and unique serial number. Carrera y Carrera is an icon of gold craftsmanship and jewelry artisanship, and creates each piece in its workshops as if it were a small work of art. Each piece is meticulously crafted, in a series of labor intensive steps. The piece is first sketched by the designer, and is then sculpted by the hands of expert modelers, from a block of hard wax, and then the master prototype is created in silver once it has reached the optimal design. The piece is then transformed into gold using the traditional lost wax casting method, and is then finished by master jewelers who painstakingly choose the gems and set them into the piece. The final touch, and Carrera y Carrera's trademark, is the matte-gloss finish, which allows a greater appreciation of the details of these small sculptures. Carrera y Carrera has a long history of celebrity clientele, including Jennifer Lopez, Madonna, Olivia Wilde, and many others. This piece is in excellent condition, and looks as though it has hardly been worn. This is a rare, retired piece which is no longer in production, and will come housed in a Carrera y Carrera gift box. (WEIGHT: 12.1 grams)
