Emerging from the sunlit shores of the Caribbean, this remarkable platinum collar necklace is an exceptional creation by the legendary Bernard K. Passman. Meticulously handcrafted, it showcases an impressive 40 carats of round brilliant-cut diamonds, each boasting G color and VS-SI clarity, offering an extraordinary display of sparkle and sophistication.Gracefully interspersed with inlaid black coral, each diamond link is elevated by the deep, lustrous contrast of this rare organic material-a signature hallmark of Passman's artistry. The design elegantly tapers from 0.7 inches at the front to a refined 0.35 inches at the back, ensuring both comfort and a striking visual flow. The collar is designed to fit necks up to 15.5 inches in circumference, embracing the neckline with sculptural grace.Bernard Passman, a celebrated sculptor, founded Passman Jewelry in 1975 near his home in the Cayman Islands, where he was inspired by the natural beauty and mystery of the sea. Fascinated by the elegance of black coral, hand-harvested by local divers, he began inlaying the polished organic gem into designs of 18 karat gold and platinum, accentuating it with the world's finest diamonds.Now, over four decades later, Passman Jewelry remains a testament to artistic innovation and island elegance-its necklaces, rings, earrings, and pendants are still meticulously handmade, and cherished by collectors and connoisseurs across the globe.This necklace is more than an adornment; it is a celebration of craftsmanship, heritage, and the enduring allure of the Caribbean.
