Natural Diopside Green Gem Gold Necklace Earrings Ear Stud Set Modern (5587)

Modern Estate demi parure consisting of a necklace and ear studs / earrings set. Gold, natural diopside. No significant age.  

Measurements: diopsides in ear studs measure approximately 2.5mm (just under 1/4inch). Diopsides of necklace are each slightly larger - approximately 3mm (1/4inch) in diameter. Total length from end to end is 16inches (41cm) long. Combined weight is 8.6 grams.

The necklace is designed as a series of circular Colette -set diopsides, pyramidal in form in front, suspended in drops in clusters of magnificent deep, fiery green. The delicate gold box-link chain has a few loops added at the back - either as a drop, or as an addition for a larger neck. Simple ear studs well matched to each other and to the necklace. Diopside is a relatively newly discovered gem of outstanding beauty.

Marks: the only marks we found were on the butterflies of the earrings (14k). We acid tested the gold, which stays for 18k and looks to be 18k, but to be sure, we will guarantee it as 14k.

Condition: good with minor wear commensurate with age.
