An exquisite, high-end vintage estate jewelry set featuring a custom mid-century pendant paired with a premium Italian-crafted chain. Both pieces have been meticulously verified via XRF analysis and are guaranteed solid 14K yellow gold.
The Pendant: Custom Hong Kong Estate Artistry
- Design & Motif: A striking late-20th-century brutalist "coral reef" design. The heavy 14K yellow gold framework features an organic, molten texture that wraps beautifully around the central stone.
- Dimensions: Substantial 21.0mm framework diameter.
- Central Gemstone: A gorgeous, heavy-dome premium cultured pearl measuring a prominent 9.6mm. The pearl boasts an exceptional mirror-like luster with intense, highly iridescent pink and green overtones (orient).
- Accent Diamonds: Three (3) natural, matching 2.1mm round brilliant-cut diamonds totaling approximately 0.11 carats. These stones are brilliant white and exhibit excellent clarity (eye-clean, premium VS grade) with phenomenal fire. They are securely set in white-gold illusion prongs to maximize their sparkle against the rich yellow gold.
- Hallmarks: Unmarked/no hallmarks (typical for custom boutique pieces crafted in Hong Kong’s historic duty-free jewelry districts during this era).
The Chain: Authentic Italian Craftsmanship
- Design: A highly reflective Twisted Bismarck chain. This intricate architecture features parallel interlocking links flattened on top to create a fluid, ribbon-like drape that catches the light beautifully and stays perfectly flat on the collarbone.
- Dimensions: 1.4mm width by 20" length. Offers a sturdy, elegant, and secure hold for the pendant.
- Hallmarks: Clearly stamped "14K" on one end tag and "ITALY" on the other.
