riviere
Diamond strand necklace
A rivière is a necklace of gemstones—typically diamonds—set in a single strand with stones of graduated size, largest at the center.
The French word for river suggests how the stones flow around the neck in an unbroken line of brilliance: She wore a diamond rivière to the gala.
