Chopard Happy Diamonds Clown Pendant Necklace, 18K Yellow Gold, Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald, 60 cm Rope Chain

A Chopard Happy Diamonds clown in 18K yellow gold, its body a glass window in which two diamonds, a ruby, a sapphire and an emerald roll freely.

The Piece

Chopard was founded in 1860 in Sonvilier, Switzerland, by Louis-Ulysse Chopard, and its Happy Diamonds, introduced in 1976, set loose diamonds that move freely beneath the glass.

The clown is made of fluted gold limbs that hang loose from a glass window in its body. Inside the window five stones move as the wearer does: two diamonds, a ruby, a sapphire and an emerald. A ruby tops the hat, blue stones form the eyes and a diamond sits at the collar. The pendant hangs from a twisted rope chain of 60 cm (23.6 in) with a lobster clasp and a stamped 750 tag.

Chopard has cleaned the inside of the glass, and the gold has been polished and finished. A repair certificate comes with the necklace, which is delivered in a house jewellery case in place of the original.

Authenticity & Care

Maker's stamps, serial marks, clasp, settings and stones are examined together and documented in Japan before dispatch. Every piece carries the Japonista authenticity guarantee. Keep it boxed or in a soft pouch away from perfume and hairspray, wipe it with a soft dry cloth, and have the settings checked by a jeweller from time to time.

Delivery from Japan

Length and width are measured by hand, in centimetres, and a chain falls differently on every neck. Lay a chain you already wear along a tape measure and allow a little margin, the quiet safeguard on a final sale. Our necklace length chart shows each length from 40 to 75 cm as it is worn, and for anything it leaves open the curator team replies within one Tokyo business day.
