Rivière Necklace

Riviere necklaces are types of jewelry that resemble choker necklaces or tennis necklaces. They feature a continuous line of gemstones that are either identical in size or larger in the center.
Only one type of gemstone is used in a riviere necklace. The style became popular during the 18th century in Europe. Its name comes from French and literally means ‘river’, which, in jewelry terms, translates to a ‘river of gems’.
