Offered is a beautiful 10K yellow gold pendant featuring a large, richly colored natural ruby in an ornate open-back floral and scrollwork setting.
This is an especially attractive piece for the ruby and gemstone jewelry collector. The center stone has a substantial face-up presence at approximately 10.7mm x 9.1mm, with a deep red to purplish-red body color and visible natural internal characteristics. The ruby is faceted and displays attractive flashes of light across its surface.
The surrounding 10K yellow gold mounting has an elaborate floral/foliate design with decorative scrollwork and a scalloped outer silhouette. The open construction allows the ruby to be viewed from both the front and back.
The ruby has visible internal characteristics and is being represented here as a natural commercial-quality ruby. No laboratory report accompanies the pendant, and no claim is being made that the ruby is untreated. Buyers who require laboratory confirmation of natural origin or treatment should obtain an independent gemological report.
The pendant has a wonderful combination of deep ruby color and warm yellow gold. The ornate scrollwork surrounding the center stone gives the piece a distinctive vintage jewelry character rather than the appearance of a simple modern solitaire pendant.
The ruby is the focal point of the piece and has a particularly large visual presence for this pendant. Its inclusions and internal texture are visible in the photographs and are part of the character of this commercial-quality natural gemstone.
Please examine all photographs carefully. The photographs are of the actual pendant being offered and are considered part of the description. Lighting and magnification can make gemstones appear somewhat different from their appearance in ordinary room lighting.
Pre-owned vintage jewelry with signs of age and normal handling consistent with its history. The gold may show minor surface marks, abrasions, patina, or other small signs of previous wear. The ruby also has natural internal characteristics visible in the photographs.
Please review all photographs for the best representation of condition. This is a previously owned piece and is not being represented as new.
