Salvador Dalí

18-karat gold with sapphire and emerald beads, pearls, and diamonds

The necklace was conceived by Dalí in 1954 and crafted in 1963 by New York jeweler Carlos Alemany. This work of art, consisting of 61 sapphire beads weighing 48.27 carats, 61 emerald beads weighing 89.97 carats, 67 diamonds weighing 4.74 carats, and 125 oriental pearls, as well as one large South Sea pearl, is not only a piece of jewelry but also a true work of art.
It was a gift from Dalí to Sao Schlumberger, Pierre’s second wife.
