White Gold Diamond Jewelry Designs Highlight Robinhood Auctions’ Upcoming Sale

Collar necklaces or chokers trace back their origins to nearly 2,500 BCE. While the Sumerians were the first ones to wear collar necklaces, the Pharaohs in Egyptian culture also valued them. However, it was during the Victorian Age that jewelry in general and chokers in particular rose to new heights of popularity. A 14-karat white gold collar designed with 145 round brilliant-cut diamonds is a key highlight of the upcoming sale from Robinhood Auctions. The total weight of the diamonds is 15.27 carats. Other noteworthy 18-karat white gold and diamond pieces include two bracelets. One is designed with 228 natural diamonds, weighing 26.1 carats, whereas the other is designed with 35 natural diamonds, weighing 9.01 carats. 
A 14-karat white gold ring studded with a pear-shaped natural diamond also leads the catalog. The tear-drop or pear-shaped diamond was invented in 1475, the year when a Flemish diamond cutter, Lodewyk van Bercken, invented a diamond-polishing wheel. Also known as a scaif, it enabled him to place facets onto the rough surface of a diamond. This eventually paved way for crafting more complex cuts such as the pear shape.
