A diamond sautoir, composed of tapered and rectangular links suspending an open work canted rectangular pendant, of geometric design, set throughout with single and brilliant cut diamonds (convertible to a brooch and four separate bracelets), contained in a later fitted case Lengths: chain 71cm; pendant 6.7cm The sautoir takes it's name from the way it is worn, originally inspired by French military uniform of the late 18th century where a necklace worn 'en sautoir' was worn diagonally across the chest in a similar way to a sash. Over the years, the sautoir evolved into a long necklace or chain extending down to or below the waist, with a pendant in the form of a plaque or medal and later a tassel. The sautoir as a piece of jewellery reached its fashion zenith during the Edwardian era and was often composed of seed pearls, woven or twisted with tassel terminals, their delicacy suiting the stylish and elegant silhouette of the time. In the 1920s the sautoir was a vital accessory and ideally complimented the fashion of wearing low-waisted dresses. It was during that period that differing materials were used in their composition including chain links of diamonds of differing designs but always with the popular geometric style of the Art Deco period. They often suspended geometric pendants, or tassels made of pearls or precious stone beads and often had diamond connections. This wonderful sautoir, which splits to form four separate diamond bracelets and a plaque brooch, is so evocative of the Art Deco period and is a good illustration of the geometric motifs found not only in the jewellery of that time, but in house furnishings, art works, architecture and clothing.
