The style of riviere diamond necklaces we know today became popular after the 1871 discovery of the Kimberley Mine in South Africa when diamonds flowed into the western market. Over time, there have been slight variations in its appearance, and major differences in how and where it has been worn. 

This riviere features bezel-set diamonds and boasts 8.21ctw diamonds. Champagne in color and substantial as ever, this necklace also has a lobster clasp. 

No matter what you call them, the diamond jewels are a treasure to add to any collection. They look spectacular worn alone or as layered necklaces. The style provides a radiance that is something akin to walking around with your own ring light, but far more magical.
