This Georg Jensen necklace, referred to as the Paris design, is the epitome of sophistication. Designed by Georg Jensen while living in Paris, this necklace is not often found with the older 1933-1944 mark. This piece is substantial and beautifully crafted with a large labradorite cabochon clasp set on a wide link of exquisite leaf and berry panels. According to Georg Jensen Jewelry, this piece was designed in 1925 or 1926.
