Sold with its original box and invoices specifying its serial number. The necklace was purchased in 1976 from Van Cleef and Arpels place Vendôme. originally it was set with angel skin coral. but in 1992 Van Cleef and Arpels had to repair the latter and replaced the coral with lapis lazuli. We also have the repair invoice.

Although we pay attention to the quality of our antique jewelry. these have a history. As a result. some gems may be slightly dulled and the metal delicately patinated.
