Her Highness the Begum Salimah Aga Khan had a passion for art and jewelry. A woman of great elegance, she also possessed excellent taste. Her exceptional jewelry box featured this yellow gold and emerald Indian-inspired necklace, created in 1971. It is a superb example of the art of transformation that is so dear to Van Cleef & Arpels. The choker can be worn as two bracelets, and the pendant detaches to become a lapel clip. This unique piece is set with 745 diamonds with a weight of 52 carats and 44 emeralds weighing 478 carats.
