This Bibi van der Velden necklace does not take itself too seriously, yet it exudes a sense of playful, refined luxury. Attached to the 18K rose gold chain in fixed positions are two little monkeys of sterling silver with bodies encrusted in sparkling brown diamonds. One seems to be climbing up the chain and the other is hanging from it with a trio of tiny gold bananas gripped in her foot. Another gold banana hangs in the center of the chain adding to the humorous, dynamic composition.
