As in the 1940s, jewelers of the 1950s utilized everyday motifs to create stylized jewels with a whimsical flair. This necklace makes use of the simple scallop shell and then adds some pizzazz with the circular-cut diamonds. Van Cleef and Arpels' superb craftsmanship is exhibited in the extreme flexibility of this necklace
