Crafted in 18k Yellow Gold and emeralds, our Custom Lovestruck Pierced Rivière Link Extension Necklace is part of the United in Love collection and represents our Tenet of True Love. The name “rivière” comes from the French word for river and was used as early as the 18th century to describe the way the gemstones flow around the neck. An investment like this should be able to be worn every day, ebbing and flowing with the myriad of ways we present ourselves. The removable extension link lets you wear the necklace on its own as a continuous chain or with the link for a one-inch drop. Here, it is paired with our Lovestruck Pierced Custom Round Medallion, which features up to three pavé diamond letters at the center. The letters may be personal initials or a meaningful acronym or word. The piercings on the medallion's outer border were inspired by the Roman god Cupid, whose fateful arrows struck mortal hearts and made them fall in love—forever marked with a bead of impact. Custom 2 or 3 letter pieces are final sale and ship in approximately 6-8 weeks.
