An Elegant Belle Epoque Ruby and Diamond Negligée Pendant Necklace
The entwined calibré-cut ruby knot surmount suspending two graduated calibré-cut channel-set ruby bars and two circular-cut diamond-set pendants designed as bell husks, the whole suspended from a fine trace link chain circa 1900, French control mark, later fitted case
This piece is almost identical to the design shown on Plate 1456 of the Cartier Belle Epoque Photographic Albums, sold by Christie's New York, 9 April 1997, Lot 224. The archive example, although being exactly the same size, appears to be set with circular-cut stones whereas this lot is set with calibré-cut rubies.
