The Women's Rivière Style Necklace
The Rivière is a collection of stones set within a necklace. The word "Rivière" means "river" in French, reflecting the river of gems that flow along the necklace's length.
In many cases, the stones are often the same shape, but the size of each stone gradually increases, culminating in a slightly larger stone at the front.
A Brief History of the Necklace
It's widely believed that the particular design and style of the necklace came from a unique diamond choker. This iconic choker was a gift from Napoleon Bonaparte to his second wife, Marie Louise, as they celebrated their son's birth in 1811.
This famed piece of jewelry consisted of 28 round-cut, pear-shaped diamonds suspended as a fringe. The necklace now lies in the Smithsonian's permanent collection. By 1871, Riviere necklaces became popular as new diamond mines were discovered and extracted in key South African locales.
