Jewelry Designs by Ilias Lalaounis and Hans D. Krieger Highlight Kingston Auction House’s Upcoming Sale

A lariat necklace is a Y-shaped necklace that has a loop with a linear drop. Instead of a clasp closure, the strand wraps around the neck and runs through a fixture. The necklace gets its name and design inspiration from the culture of the American West. It resembles a type of lasso, a long rope with a large loop at the end. An Ilias Lalaounis 18-karat yellow gold lariat necklace is a key highlight of the upcoming sale, offered by Kingston Auction House. It features two Chimera heads adorned with rubies, sapphires, and diamonds and is adjustable with sliding center section divider. In Greek mythology, the Chimera was believed to be a fearsome, fire-breathing monster with a lion’s head and a goat’s body. Ilias Lalaounis was celebrated for such pioneering styles influenced by Greek history.

Two noteworthy diamond jewelry pieces by Hans D. Krieger also lead the catalog. One is an 18-karat white gold cuff studded with diamonds, and the other is a diamond circle necklace. The international fine jewelry brand was first established in Germany in 1720.
