Laing Edinburgh celebrates 175th anniversary with £175,000 diamond necklace

Independent jeweller Laing Edinburgh has marked its 175th anniversary with the creation of a one-off diamond necklace valued at £175,000. 

The necklace, named ‘175’, features 447 brilliant-cut and pave diamonds set in platinum with a double diamond drop. The piece is described as “timelessly elegant with a contemporary twist”.

Taking nine months to create, the necklace has a diamond cross-over section at the centre and a clasp engraved  with 175, opening onto ‘1840’ with the ‘o’ at the pin buckle hole. It also includes a two and three-carat single diamond on a pendant drop, and weighs a total of 25 carats.

The ‘175’ name was inspired by its anniversary, but the company said it also symbolises “one piece, inspired by the seven most loved ladies of Laing – the family’s wives, sisters, daughters and granddaughters – and created by Laing’s five most experienced specialists”.

Owner Michael Laing said: “Diamonds are a specialism and passion of Laing Edinburgh and a necklet is one of the most dramatic ways to showcase these precious stones.

“We brought together five of our diamond, design and craft experts blending their skills and workmanship to create one spectacular, symbolic 175 creation, the most meaningful piece we’ve ever designed.”

The 175 will be on show at Laing Endiburgh’s new store on George Street from late Autumn.
