This necklace is really stunning in its simplicity. From Sotheby’s online catalogue for its upcoming February 6 auction (timed perfectly for Valentine’s Day): two strands of 58 coral beads graduating from approximately 21.3 to 10.6 mm, the clasp designed as a knot set with round diamonds weighing approximately 1.20 carats, length 13 inches.”

It’s the kind of piece that could be worn as a daily adornment as easily as it could dress up a night time look. If only I had the estimated USD $20,000-$30,000 it’s expected to fetch to bid on it.
