Condition Notes: A gorgeous example of Retro jewelry, this piece features a central marquise diamond measuring approximately 8.00 × 4.50 mm, flanked by two marquise diamonds measuring 4.50 × 2.50 mm, all with good clarity. Under magnification, minor nibbles and abrasions are visible at the points of the marquise stones, though no significant chipping is observed. The rubies also display small nicks under magnification. The design is completed with a tubogas-style chain, adjustable in length from 13 to 15 inches via notches along the underside. These notches correspond with the under gallery safety latch, which is fitted with a post that engages securely with each notch. Minor porosity and solder marks are visible on one portion of the central pendant, likely from the original manufacturing process.
